Bill - 
 
 Please do not assume that ARIN will not request information regarding
 actual customers assigned to dynamic IP pools; we do ask for this level
 of detail if necessary for verification (i.e. while we are generally
 satisfied by growth in customer counts, spot checking of those counts
 also occurs.)

 The same standard applies in either case: if you do not have an established 
 record of growth and/or have unusual change in growth rate and/or show signs
 associated with common fraudulent requests, you will get asked for additional
 details.

FYI,
