Really? So a customer who claims to need a /24 on a dialup doesnt suggest
to you that they're wrong or at least worthy of further investigation before

We expect certain requests from certain types of account and anything above that
gets looked at. I believe this is a good position between wasting time on end
user IP assignments and handing out a limited resource too freely.
