Exactly. This whole thread is why ISPs actually employee those cool people in the nice building to create products and talk to customers. According to APNIC's fees page it costs $20,000 a year to have up to a /10 of IP space. Any ISP big enough to need that much space will spend 50 times that just putting in the NAT boxes and updating the accounts page. Seriously people. Do you really pitch "Cripple the product, lose 20% of the customers and save a grand a year of APNIC fees" ideas to your manager? , and if so does he repeat them to anyone else? Oh, and on a completely different subject, Could Orcon please turn of open zone transfers on their name servers? I've getting sick of people telling me about it. -- Simon J.
