I happen to know a reasonably large ISP which has to go through some pretty difficult justification to get more space. You should try a RWHOIS server, it can help make it easier to "justify" stuff for ARIN. (At least that's what some people tell me, I've never set one up myself.) >I don't want to hear an answer from ARIN, I would like feedback from >actual customers of ARIN. I've seen lots of companies jump through some major hoops, and I don't really begrudge ARIN the necessity of making sure the allocations are made ... frugally. But I do wonder why they would ask for geographical information other than to be sure the space is used within "America".
