Daniel et al I can't get out of here today so I'll be a bit late at tomorrow's IR bof; should be there in time for the concluding coffee, though ;-) I don't have any war stories as such, just a few things that occur to me: 1. Most clients are beginning to learn about subnetting and are using single Class C addresses for multiple link IP addresses. 2. Some clients complained that they had not been allocated enough addresses. Such clients are always those who have done nothing about getting themselves connected, despite the advice and encouragement we have offered them. Our answer to them is that when they really need more addresses to connect hosts to the Internet, they should ask their local registry. They can't complain. 3. The service provided by the RIPE NCC as the European IP registry is an excellent one. The secondary nameservice for the reverse zones in 193.1.0.0 was a great idea and well implemented. Cheers. Mike
