Classic snowshoe setup. A /24 full of randomized reverse dns records emitting spam that's sent over gre tunnels from a single mothership. Either that or 'seo' on much the same principle. --srs (htc one x) On 05-Jul-2013 7:58 PM, "eric clark" <cabenth@gmail.com> wrote:

Don't quite understand how its going to work. Leasing I understand. So long as you are willing to suffer the revocation of the IP space should the company that was actually ISSUED the IP space looses it for whatever reason...
"Buying" I really don't get. IP space that is issued by a registrar is not owned. It is assigned. Sure, its yours until they want it back or you give it back, but its not owned. So, for a person to sell space that was allocated to them, just doesn't make sense.
The "provide via GRE or other tunnel" makes me think they're tunneling your traffic to the actual assignee's environment, which would make sense, but then that assignee has to deal with your bandwidth, don't they? Obviously, if you take all of their space, you could physically move it, but if you're only dealing with a portion, and ARIN has it assigned to AS xxx, then you have to be running AS xxx...
Sketchy and messy and I don't see how its appropriate.
