Michael,

Per ARIN's Number Resource Policy Manual it says this:

"4.1.1. Routability

Provider independent (portable) addresses issued directly from ARIN or other
Regional Registries are not guaranteed to be globally routable. Therefore,
ISPs should consider the following order of priority when requesting IP
address space:

   - Request IP address space from upstream provider
   - Request IP address space from provider's provider
   - Request IP address space from ARIN (not guaranteed to be globally
   routable)"


Address allocations and assignments from ARIN are not guaranteed to be
routable.
