As is quite common, in this situation we must apply The Berkowitz Interrogative: What problem are you trying to solve? Do you want a second T-1 because of traffic requirements? Are you running low on available bandwidth as it is? Are you worried that this might happen at some point in the near

If you have less than a /24 and you are going to do bgp with multiple providers, it is a borderline waste of time. I agree that if you are singlehomed, or are multihomed and already have a /24, getting additional ips is work, reason being is because the providers have to justify it to Arin. I'll
