We can return to classful routing again.

Sure seems like a lot of extra overhead. Perhaps we should give everyone an allocation out of each filter range, so that they can simply number from the appropriately-classed range; when you apply for space, you'd get a /32, a /33, a /34, a /35, a /36, etc. all from the appropriate, statically defined ranges. *removes tongue from cheek* > brandon > > Matt
