I know, it's not ideal, but then again I think there is some urgency in getting CIDR really off the ground by now... I think this should be *strongly* encouraged. We should clearly steer away from search for an "ideal" solution, and rather focus on pragmatic considerations. Yakov. P.S. One of my collegues observed a while ago that if he would be looking for an "ideal" wife he would never get married (of course, he is married and is quite happy now). His observation could be generalized to any scenario that involves search for an "ideal" solution... :-)
