If I had 32 departments and were wanting to give them equal sized allocations then I'd give them a /53 each which is 2064 subnets each. It isn't that hard to do 8 delegations in the reverse tree for each of the 32 departments. Delegation on nibble boundaries is for convience and nothing else.

I believe you under-estimate the importance of sysadmin convenience... Yes, you *can* do 8 delegations. And you are of course right - it's not even hard. But it does come with a "less convenient" price tag, so you'd better get something back. What was that, exactly? Right, you saved a /48. Big deal. Bjørn
