Yes, so why not take you address space from you upstreem provider and yes, when you need to change it. We started with 1 /24 then, /23 then /19, all from Sprintlink. We then added a MCI connection and the Internic gave us a /18, then we got connected to a NAP, the NIC gave us one more /18. Yes, we had to renumber off the /24, /23, and are still working on the /19. The point is that the NIC has no idea how long you will be in business, or if you need the space at all. I am provding access to right now 10 ISP, that will be gone in a year, and have watch that many die so far. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
