Assuming we're talking about ARIN-region, if they're multihomed, one of their providers can assign them a /24 (even if they'll only use 2 IPs) so that they can announce that /24 to their other providers and have a chance of not being route filtered. ARIN rules specifically permit this, and it won't be held against the provider when they apply for more space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
