-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ray, You'd be better off getting the customer to apply for a /24 of PI space. It is entirely possible for a provider to advertise address space that belongs to a different provider although most providers will refuse to do this as it requires co-operation between providers to both set-up (and in future remove). Most providers tend to have a standard portfolio of 'products' and these do not normally include multi-homing clients with other service providers whilst using their own address space. A normal service to sell is transit, i.e.. routing a customers PI space (and their AS). This way you need not care which other provider the customer approaches, nor pay any attention to the set-up process with that ISP as they are done independently.

A customer needs a /24 which is to be announced by us and other ASes (including uunet). Should we just give them a /24 out of our space or would it be better to apply for a /24 PI space?
