AFAIK you can still receive as much as a /24 from ARIN if you qualify
under section 4.10.  If you've already got PA space from ARIN then you
need to start hiding things behind NAT pools and load balancers.

In order to receive an allocation or assignment under this policy:

1. the applicant may not have received resources under this policy in
the preceding six months;

2. previous allocations/assignments under this policy must continue to
meet the justification requirements of this policy;

3. previous allocations/assignments under this policy must meet the
utilization requirements of end user assignments;

4. the applicant must demonstrate that no other allocations or
assignments will meet this need;

5. on subsequent allocation under this policy, ARIN staff may require
applicants to renumber out of previously allocated / assigned space
under this policy in order to minimize non-contiguous allocations.
