G'day,
Thank you to the people letting us (and me via private email) know who does and doesn't provide static IPs, but can anyone point me towards this mystical APNIC policy?
Or we safely assume that there is no such policy?
http://www.apnic.net/policy/ipv4-guidelines.html#6.1 "For services that are intended to connect the Internet on a transient basis (for example, dial-up connections), best current practice is to use a pool of IP addresses for dynamic addressing as connections are made. If an organisation plans to make static assignments to transient connections, then full technical justification will be required to support the request." "Because my customers require static IP addressing for applications they use." Or, you could say that ADSL these days is not transient. -- Nathan Ward
