As long as your client needs that much address space, (i.e. is efficiently using at least a /23 or so already), ARIN is generally pretty easy to work with. Have your documentation together, show them that you know what you're talking about, and you'll get your request granted. As long as you're intending to multi-home, the fact that you haven't yet actually done so shouldn't be a problem in getting an ASN and a small IPv4 allocation. They did recently introduce a new policy that IPv4 requests need to include a signed attestation from a corporate officer, but that's probably a rubber-stamp affair (and I don't think it officially takes effect 'til next week anyway). Be sure to get some IPv6 space while you're there, it's free, and they'll need it in a couple years anyway. :) David Smith MVN.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
