<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm the network engineer for a large dedicated
server/colocation facility<BR>and I agree that IP addresses and their
maintenance is a large pain in the<BR>ass. We have a little over 1/2 a
clacc B equivelent and are still growing.<BR><BR>I have been trying to push
customers to use "Name Based" virtual hosting,<BR>and keep making the sales
guys have customers justify needing more than<BR>32 addresses. We
charge $1 per address per month, so it's an important<BR>revenue
stream.<BR><BR>As a "network engineer", it's also important to know that IP
addresses<BR>are a "fixed" resource. When they are gone, that's
it. Yes, I know<BR>that IPV6 will cure our problems. Well they
have been working on it<BR>for over 8 years and we don't seem realistically
very close to it.<BR><BR>People will hoard (hey anybody want to buy 48 pre
CIDR class C addresse)<BR>networks and address and then try to make a
killing in the parket. I<BR>remember several years ago people offering
to sell their class B addresses<BR>that they had from old APRANET days for
tens and hundreds of thousands<BR>of dollars.<BR><BR>My point is, that the
revenue stream is usless is you can't get more<BR>addresses later. We
have to push back at our customers for REAL <BR>justifications, and my
providers and ARIN have to push back to me<BR>me for the same. ARIN,
RIPE, et. al. then have to justify to the IANA<BR>(or whatever) for
allocations as well.<BR><BR>Market pricing won't give us the conservation we
need.<BR><BR>WHat will help is to eliminate the need for REAL IP so people
can use<BR>NAME based servers.<BR><BR>Issues;<BR>* All browsers have to
support HTTP/1.1 and name based browsing.<BR>Mostly done now AOL and
COMPUSERVE were the biggest offenders.<BR><BR>* SSL Certificates may not
always work with NAME based due to<BR>reverse IP not matching the
certificates.<BR><BR>* The biggest issue (to my customers), the SEARCH
ENGINES need to<BR>support HTTP/1.1 and name based virtual servers.
Most do not.<BR>We, as a community, need to push the search engines into
building<BR>in support. If we do this, we will solve a
significant<BR>portion of the problem. The SSL requirements I feel are
probably<BR>not a siginficant portion of the problem<BR><BR>Just my 2
cents.<BR>-- <BR>Scott W. Rogers <<A

market" for IP addresses, the<BR>> pricing was set arbitrarily - to cover
the expenses of operating ARIN.<BR>><BR>> That's not to say that that
is bad, or without reasoning. It's just that<BR>> if you're going to
disassociate the pricing from the costs necessary to<BR>> administer
ARIN, instead of raising the price to discourage waste, you<BR>> should
let people buy and sell blocks on an open market. Free markets are<BR>>
very sensitive to the scarcity of resources via the price
mechanism.<BR>><BR>> That's not saying I think IPs are particularly
scarce. I've made the<BR>> argument before that it seems that CIDR is
more about saving face for<BR>> Cisco's underpowered heaps than
conserving IP space.<BR>><BR>> However, the current IP allocation
system works fairly well, and in that<BR>> system the best approach is to
tell people to stop provisioning web sites<BR>> in a wasteful manner that
was only every necessitated by flaws in the<BR>> original
technology.<BR>><BR>> Besides, it's WAY easier to provision IP-less
web sites. :)<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> On Wed, 3 Jan 2001, Joe
