Subject: Re: [NTISP] IP delegation...
| Bob:
| I am sorry I got your feathers ruffled. Perhaps the inquiry was a bit
| incomplete.
| The reason that we have the constraint is because of the unusual
| circumstance with our upstream provider. They control the class B, and
have
| allocated us only two class C blocks as of now, so as you surely know
254.0
| subnet is appropriate for our circumstance.
| I was hoping for a resolution aside from subnetting our customers to
| meet their individual IP needs for a couple of reasons. 1) As you can tell
| from the above paragraph we are temporarily constrained by the quantity of
| IPs we can use. 2) Our sales team have sold odd amounts of IP to our
| customers, and once again I am trying to be efficient by not assigning a
/28
| to someone who only needs 6 IP addresses.
| I am somewhat resigned to subnet to each customer accordingly, but
then
| again that's why I posted to the news group for alternative suggestions.
|
| Thanks,
| Gabe
