Hi All, I appreciate if someone clarifies the situations for the following; 1- Address Translation and Private Address Space Usage. Some of my customers want to use public addresses with no technical reason. Their main concern is to avoid the extra expenditure for a NAT/proxy/firewall. Should I force them to use one ? 2- I've seen the following advertisement on the net. Doesn't this constitute a violation of the policy as " IP addresses does not have any commercial value". There wasn't any extra info whether this amount was billed for dns records or any other service. Advertisement was from ARIN region. "For just an additional $15/month, you can get a single static IP address - perfect for using your company's VPN (Virtual Private Network) or accessing the corporate network. The Static IP feature is only available at your residential location. Currently, the feature is only available for new customers in certain areas. For more information and to order your Static IP address today, please call x-xxx-xxx-xxxx and ask for the "Static IP feature".
