How do you justify that to ARIN? My reading of the NRPM 6.5.8
("qualify for an IPv4 assignment or allocation from ARIN under the
IPv4 policy currently in effect") and 4.3 (v4 /24 minimum for
multihoming, 50% utilization) is that you need at least 128 devices to
get a multihoming allocation. That's quite a home network you have.

In a related vein, I'm looking at IPv6-numbering a non-connected
private network of a few hundred hosts, and while a GUA assignment
would be ideal, it looks like I need at least 2048 (50% of a v4 /20)
devices to qualify for a non-multihomed v6 assignment. Am I missing
something?
