If the IP addresses are used outside of the ARIN service region, but
part of a globally contagious network that exists in part in the ARIN
service region and the covering aggregate is announced from within the
ARIN service region (also announcing the aggregate and / or more
specific outside of the ARIN service region is acceptable), the the
addresses can be considered utilized (assuming they meet ARIN's
definition of in use).

If the IPs are for servers in a data center that is a stub network
which is not contagious with a network in the ARIN service region then
those IPs would not count as in use.  If you total utilization is
below 80% you would not qualify for more IP space.

Bill, and my comments are based an multiple interactions with ARIN and
Public Policy Meeting discussions surrounding "out of region use".

If you truely want to know what if ARIN staff would consider a use
case as justified, you should directly engage the ARIN staff.
