[Randy McAnally]

Looks like Arin gives /20's to anyone and their grandparents these days?

"I sell private web caching proxies and Im in need of another two dedicated
servers with 2,000 ips assigned to each server. My budget is about
$1,100/month and I dont need any control panel or management. I also don't
spam or do anything illegal with these proxies. I already host with Ubiquity
and their great, and only $200/month for 2k ips."

And then..

"I have already received approval from Arin for my /20 request and I'm already
in the process of paying the $4,500 to get the resources allocated asap.

The new problem is finding a network that will allow outside ips to come into
their network for a dedicated server I would be renting from them. Any advise?"

Sheesh...
