Now, if the database at ARIN supported a field saying when these
blocks were allocated, I would bet that some of them were allocated

of wastage that is purty horrible)

I have a new school connecting to us early next week with a /16 for a
campus of under 10K students.  :(

There has to be a way to reclaim them!
