Agree, we find secondary IP addressing a symptom of bad network design, particularly in IP address assignment and scaling. The only area where we've seen secondary IP addresses to be nearly unavoidable, is when co-lo customers with no router have to use our co-lo router as a first-Layer-3 hop. As their server farms grow, and they maintain one or two ports on our end, expanding their assignments would require secondary IP addresses. Otherwise, keep the core clean. Avoid secondary IP addresses. Cheers, Mark.
