-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Gert, I think what Joao was suggesting was that if the nameserver had been in NASA's v6 block, then rapid renumbering would have made it viable to demand the whole block back from NASA when the nameserver was shutdown. While this is nice in theory, I tend to agree with Randy that it is not very likely in reality for a huge organisation like NASA. Regards, Guy

No, NASA should probably not return their IPv4 space. With IPv6 you can do it right, so why not do it right?
oh, i forgot ipv6's rapid renumbering. i also forgot santa claus and the tooth fairy.
Huh? What does this have to do with anything?
This proposal is about NOT changing IPv6 root name server addresses, and NOT about "easy renumbering".
