Since these things are typically full of private or at least semi-private info, I'll be surprised if anyone sends you a real one. Having gone through it several times though, I'll say all you need is to fill out http://www.arin.net/library/templates/net-isp.txt and add in some additional info/detail they want but don't ask for in the template. See http://www.arin.net/policy/ipv4.html, the part under ISP Additional Requests. i.e. for non-swip'd space, they want details...not just a count of "we're using x hundred IPs for web sites, X thousand for dial-up ports, etc.", but "we're using x hundred IPs for the following web sites [list of urls/domains], Y hundred IPs for Y hundred dial-up ports in city A, ..." For good measure, any IP block (swip'd or not) >=/24, give them details as to what it's being used for, how many IPs are currently in use, etc. If you don't follow these two pieces of advice, I'll bet someone lunch that they'll reply to your template asking for more info (which will slow the process). Also, though you probably took way longer than 3 months to use up your initial allocation, don't bother asking for more than you reasonably think you'll use in 3 months unless that would be smaller than /20 (I think that's the minimun block size ARIN will give you). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
