Dual-home with a provider with no term commitment. No matter how
painful that is, it'll be less painful than a policy change.<br>

Hello all, I will be brief as possible. I need assistance with
either requesting a policy change or an appeal/exception to
current policy.<br>
<br>
I started business in 1995 with 4 Class C's assigned from Integra
( /22 ). I am a full service IT provider offering pretty much
everything but connectivity. Over the years I have developed my
network such that I am using my IP's very efficiently. Host
headers on most web sites, internal IP's whenever possible, and of
course certain thing must be static, single IP's on a host.<br>
<br>
I am moving in less then a year to a new office, and taking the
opportunity to get on the ATT fiber backbone rather then 4 bonded
T-1's from Integra (which is very expensive) Integra tells me I
can not take my IP's with me, and ATT tells me the largest block
they will give me is a single class C.<br>
<br>
So I went out to Arin and setup my account and requested a /22
which was denied because the smallest block they will give a
single homed ISP is a /20 (4096 ip's)<br>
<br>
I feel like I am being penalized for using my IP's efficiently!!
As I see it, I only have one option: Rework my network so every
site I host uses it's own dedicated IP so that I can justify
needing a /20...in which case I feel I would be doing the internet
community a disservice. <br>
<br>
Can anyone provided feedback on how to better resolve this? How
do I start getting the policy changed? Is there a process I can
go through to get an exemption? Would excalation my request be of
any use?<br>
<br>
With the IP 4 space dwindling, wouldn't it be a better policy to
allow small business to get only what they need?<br>
<br>
