RE: ARIN Policy on IP-based Web Hosting

Based on Cisco: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/701/60.html

"As a result, Cisco IOS PAT [Port Address Translation - HN] supports about 4000 local addresses that can be mapped to the same global address."

And that exactly scales how at an ISP/NSP level with millions of subs? Has anyone here ever considered the ops effort required to make this work and keep it working, nevermind the calls you'll receive into your call center to keep all your customers working and happy? -- Christian Kuhtz, Sr. Network Architect Architecture, BellSouth.net <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Atlanta, GA "Speaking for myself only."
