Then why is it that whenever we ask for extra space because of issues like this (in our case, we'd like to be able to assign /19 blocks for each larger POP so that it can be independantly routed in the Internet) we get told, sorry, that's an operational issue, we won't assign space for that.
You know, I've got the same problem. I've been trying to think of a way to deal with one of my locations slower growth, yet higher profile customers. I want them to be able to route independantly should the links all go out between it and my other locales, but it doesn't grow fast enough to keep up with the others and I can't manage to get it into its own /19 without having to seal from its block as the time draws near to beg ARIN for more space. It might behoove ARIN to allow us /19s for locations like that on a special request form. -- Jason Weisberger Chief Technology Officer SoftAware, Inc. 310/305-0275
