No. It's still a /20 with a single /24 hole punched in it. If the net ends up with a policy that only allows prefixes up to /20 on the backbone then the bozo who moves and won't renumber looses. He may 'own' the address space but it's no damn use to him.
You missed my point, a /20 with a /24 hole in it means we end up having to make multiple routes where there was one. This becomes more work for administrators when creating access lists, etc.
We end up with one additional route.
Arguably, you can leave the /20 and create a /24 with a different gateway in some circumstances, but this I beleive is also going to be error prone.
Arguably, I'd argue that's precisely what you do. -- Mailto:Andy.Linton(a)netlink.net.nz Tel: +64 4 494 6162 Post: Netlink, PO Box 5358, Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand -- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
