But perhaps the BCP is to make the customer renumber, in which case I'm making things more complicated than they need to be.
Most customers with PA space (which is what you are giving them) are quite used to renumbering. If not, they will become, given v6 PAishness. Renumbering is not to be avoided at all costs, because: Renumbering cleans cruft and finds mishaps waiting to happen. Renumbering rewards those who have done proper configuration separation. Renumbering rewards those who have automated their systems management. Renumbering thus is good for you. There are economic incentives (keeping the customer because said customer hovers in the Lagrange point between clueless and lazy) to let suboptimal numbering schemes fester. Might alter picture above, but from operational standpoint renumbering is not that bad. -- Måns Nilsson M A C H I N A Now my EMOTIONAL RESOURCES are heavily committed to 23% of the SMELTING and REFINING industry of the state of NEVADA!!
