My ISP is changing upstreams for a variety of reasons around May 18th.
1. I have a /24 SWIPed to me, 205.238.207.0. The ARIN listing doesn't say it's non-portable, so can I take it with me? The ARIN db lost all portable/non-portable atributes in the conversion. Unless folks have gone back and requested they get re-tagged,
portability is unclear from the ARIN db. [snip]
rather than filtered for being too long? It's right in the middle of the old upstream's block 205.238.192/18. If it is a singleton hole in a /18, your most net-friendly action would be to voluntarily renumber. The provider's most net-friendly action would be to indicate it was non-portable.

(There's other servers elsewhere that won't get renumbered.) If I tell the Internic that ivan's host number has changed, will that update all the domains served from it? Yes, that's the purpose of the HST record. Update the HST and you're all set.
