Perhaps I misunderstood Sanjay, Sean, but I believe his concern was that the addresses _not be the property of an upstream (ie: backbone) provider_ to provide flexibility of connection choice. NAT will not solve this problem; it resides at too low a level of the theoretical architecture, being used primarily to avoid renumbering of internetworks. This isn't a network numbering problem, it's a routing problem. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
