Ray,

You'd be better off getting the customer to apply for a /24 of PI
space.

It is entirely possible for a provider to advertise address space
that belongs to a different provider although most providers will
refuse to do this as it requires co-operation between providers to
both set-up (and in future remove).  Most providers tend to have a
standard portfolio of 'products' and these do not normally include
multi-homing clients with other service providers whilst using their
own address space.

A normal service to sell is transit, i.e.. routing a customers PI
space (and their AS).  This way you need not care which other
provider the customer approaches, nor pay any attention to the set-up
process with that ISP as they are done independently.

James

A customer needs a /24 which is to be announced by us and other ASes
(including uunet).  Should we just give them a /24 out of our space
or would it be better to apply for a /24 PI space?

Thanks,
Ray
