Not to make this note a total flame ... but are you really honestly trying to say that ARIN won't give you more addresses if you don't use .0 and .255 addresses on all /23 and larger prefixes? Out of all the /17-/23 prefixes out there on the net, what percentage would people say are truely used on a network in "classful supernet" configurations. Out of that percentage, what percent of those are in such a dire situation with their past network allocation history that their future allocations depend on actually allocating and using, in a production environment, 510 addresses out of a /23 instead of a mere 508? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Andrew W.
