Isn't it wonderful how being a good netizen allows your less-picky competitors to get a leg-up on you? Say what<!?!>, they're smaller than you and have an /18?

However, it kinda makes you wish that you hadn't NAT'd doesn't it? Then, you'd have less of a problem qualifying for the /19. > It seems a poor reasons for acquiring a company, as they > really do not "own" the address space. --Mike-- Remember that point made ... about the communist manifesto?
