        hum... so what happens if i chose to delegated /56's to my
        customers?  does that invalidate my LIR status 'cause i'm  not
        toeing the /48 line?

        presuming of course i have LIR status along w/ the /32 that has ben
        delegated to me.

        to borrow a line, "some days your the IANA, some days your the endnode"
