That's why I shuddered when I thought of every single static IP address at every ISP being SWIP'd. It would increase ARIN's database exponentially and is not necessary.
So it goes from a few hundred MB's to a few GBs? What's the big deal. Given a trivial CustomerDB, in an RDBMS, it's still under 100 GB for a few million IPs. 150 GB of RAID5 is still less than $30KUS and dropping daily, even on HP (High Priced <grin>) equipment. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
