Did everyone miss that the customer didn't request a /24, they requested a "/24s worth in even more dis-contiguous blocks". I can only think of one reason why a customer would specifically ask for that. They are concerned that they'll get blacklisted. They're hoping if they do, it will be a small block of many rather than one entire block.Hi, On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 8:32 AM, Jared Mauch<jared () puck nether net> wrote:On Jun 20, 2011, at 8:30 AM, Bret Clark wrote:Personally I would charge them for the /24 too, makes users think twice about the need for a block that large.We do charge them for addresses already and cost doesn't come into play.

I would gladly give them a /64 and be done with it, but my concern is that they are going to want several /64 subnets for the same reason and I don't really *think* it's a legitimate reason. Bear in mind that "legitimate" in this context is referring to the justification itself, not their business model. Thanks, steve
When customers make strange requests without giving a good explanation, I have to assume they're up to something.
