Dear Nurani!
Subj: IP assignment for virtual webhosting
Before making up my mind I'd like to better understand what (in the following parapraph)
We do however wish to raise our concern regarding what we see as an inefficient usage of addresses in our limited address pool. We would therefore like to request the community to consider making it mandatory for NEW installations to use domain based web-hosting, with the exception of a set of agreed applications needing IP based web-hosting (eg. SSL).
"NEW installations" is in reality? I could come up with a couple of different interpretations, like: - an existing ISP or Web-Hotel can use the old technology, new sites are required to use the new technology, or - replacing or upgrading en existing web server (hardware only? software only? both?) requires the new technology to be deployed, or - .... But probably it's just because I don't know too much about web hosting in the first place...
