Thank you Owen, just got off the phone with ARIN, it should be a fairly simple process for us, and we will follow the advice of using a /32 for each geographical location. The overall discussion has been a very interesting one, and it would appear that the majority of the forward looking opinion is to allocate /48 to customers, and don't do any smaller subnet allocation. We will take this advice and re-evaluate our policies. Regards.
