Go back and show them you've used 21 /24s efficiently and ask for sufficient address space with which to renumber and grow your business. You'll get a /19 every time.
Hello...I'm using *more* than a /20 right *now*. If I had 100% efficient utilization of the IP addresses that we're using *today* I couldn't fit into just a /20. I can't come up with *any* logic that would make sense to renumber into a /20. This information was clearly spelled out on our application. If the folks at ARIN are too dense to add a few numbers together, you'd think they'd at least drop us an email or a phone call and ask a question or two! Sheesh! There is *NO* excuse for ARIN here, what they've done with us has *NO* rational explanation.
Have you called them to follow up? Each time I've dealt with them, I've found them to be helpful and reasonable. I think they have a LOT of requests. The onus is really on you to contact them. Give them a call. I think if you go out of your way to clearly state your case, you'll find they aren't so bad and they will give you what you need. -Robert Tellurian Networks - The Ultimate Internet Connection http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | Direct 973-940-6103 "A day above ground is a good day!" - J.C.
