So re-reading Andy's post, I think people have misread it - he doesn't appear to be asking for help in circumventing ARIN's procedures, he wants help in following it, if one notes the actual questions he asks: > > Does ARIN require a ton of SWIPS be present for the customer before > > they will issue address space? > > Does anyone know of a person they can talk to at ARIN to help with > > this process?
