chopped quotes...but did HE really disconnect an entire downstream network
over a DMCA notice, or did they null route a /32 that was used by a customer
to host hundreds of virtual web sites?

You actually mean a /128 in the case of IPv6, the /32 would be the
complete ISP...
For a hosting provider, I would think that

Remember that IP addresses are 128bits, while hostnames (the ones for
the Host: header in the HTTP query) are

Last time I checked, and this may have changed, the limit in Linux was

In practice though, you also have to

But, when IPv6 is a bit more common, there is no need for virtual

So in this circumstance you could route a /116 to the server. COOL!
These days what we might at one point have refered to as a host or
server may actually be a hardware container with N
