Wow it's getting really tough then. Alan also said he wasn't multi-homed
(don't let that get out).

Perhaps one of the best things he can do is pick up a separate provider
and aquire adequate IP space from them, slowly migrating everything over.

But from his email, I really couldn't tell if he was bringing pubic IPs
all the way to the CPEs or not.

Makes me wanna vom. And the worst part is, most of these biggies were
handed out to megacorps before they knew what the Internet was, or even
had a use for those blocks.
