A range of IP's can only have a single "SUB-ALLOCATED PA" in it. That is, you cannot sub-allocate twice.
I wouldn't force that on anyone. It might not always make sense, but we have at least one reseller that has a re-selling customer - so a two-level structure is already in place.
So "please don't do that".
I disagree. Your customer should request a seperate "SUB-ALLOCATED PA" block for his customer or otherwise if he want's to look like being independent to his customer, he should become RIPE member. I hardly can't see advantages of making sub-sub-allocations (maybe you could point them out?).
It's their suballocation, and their customer, not mine - how can I judge how big *their* customer is going to be, and how much address space they want? The whole point of suballocation is "give control to the people that actually hand out the addresses" - flexibility, instead of buerocracy.
