It's been my experience that ARIN will ask for details on any "larger" 
assignments.  AFAIK, they're happy to sign an NDA if needed, so you might 
have to work into the NDA between you and your customers that you may be 
required (under NDA) to share some information about their IP usage with 
ARIN so that you're able to get future allocations from ARIN.
