this is commonly held up as a reason that getting allocations is hard, but the infrastructure micro-allocations are never to be seen in the global table. It woudl be super nice if some kind RIR people could comment here, I believe in the ARIN region all you NEED to do is provide a spreadsheet showing your utilization, checking for the routes in the 'DFZ' (bmanning-summons) isn't relevant for additional requests. > route, be sure to 'justify' as large an allocation as you could ever > possibly imagine using because you'll only get one bite from that > apple. see previous comment, I believe this is a red-herring. > > Or maybe someone could offer to advertise these deliberately > unreachable addresses for a small fee and then null route any stray > packets that happen to want to get > there.
