<RANT> Despite RFC1918, with todays depleting IPv4 space, a wasted /12 (1048576 IPs mind you) for private IP space is really stupid, and RFC1918 should be mended if you ask me. If 10.0.0.0/8 wasn't so widely used for private ip space, I'd say toss it and return it to the routed IP space, and use the /12 one instead. If already on that topic of bitching about ARIN, them there are some other players like IBM, who use 9.0.0.0/8 as their IBM global internal net, and do not route it to the world, thus making a whole /8 into private IP space for their usage. Since 9.0.0.0 is not routed anywhere beyond IBMs internal net, they could have used 10.0.0.0/8. If you have some spare time, try whois [EMAIL PROTECTED] up to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then try calculating how much of that huge IP space is wasted. </RANT> --Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP(6.5.8) public key http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
