Umm, they were, shall we say, unclear.  I heard from one PAIX source that
they would give IPs to hosts (non-routers), but another source (at ISPCon)
said that they wouldn't.

I'd like to know the answer to this (re: PAIX.  No other exchange that I 
know of gives IPs for use by non-routers that aren't RA machines).  It's 
well-know nthat ploth has a host on the Sprintlink && Pennsauken 
gigaswitches @ Pennsauken, but I'm quite sure he doesn't run web services 
on it :)
