They will be multiply connected to major providers, but most use some sort of ip director, and all their machines sit on the same /24. Although I don't like the way some of these peoples networks are built, they don't have enough machines/servers to justify anything more than a /24 or even at most a /22, but still need provider independent space as they may show up at regional exchange points. The best bet for these people in some cases is to go hunt for space that is "available", as ARIN and folks won't allocate such space. Their other option is to sit on the network block of one of their providers, but some people do have issues with announcing other providers address space (like it's against their internal policies). This would be a semi-justfiable use of a portable block less than a /19, would it not? - Jared
Speaking for myself (not ARIN or its members) I would say yes, however, it's easy to list examples of multi-homed but we would need to either list every acceptable example or state one definition that doesn't make ARIN's staff have to subjectively decide which organization is "legitimately" multi-homed. From my experience (not to mention ARIN's Advisory Council) this is more difficult than it seems. Kim
