I'd strongly advise doing this now so you don't have to renumber later. It shouldn't be hard to come up with a reasonable and truthful justification for an allocation of 14 usable IP addresses. Relevant: http://jodies.de/ipcalc?host=192.168.0.1&mask1=28&mask2= Also, how are you managing reverse DNS? We at Cernio just worked out classless reverse DNS delegation with our colo provider for our /27 and /26 IP allocations (totaling usable ~90 IPs) - I'd be happy to give you our notes on how this was done with BIND9.
