It's a PITA and not the cleanest of methods, but until all the backbones quit filtering /24s it's what we have to do. The other alternative (and we've considered it) is to obtain a much larger space directly from ARIN and burn the unused space.
So which is worse for the net, a table full of /24s or a table full of /19s and no address space left? The hope is registry policy will stop people from getting /19s. Hope doesn't scale. brandon
