Jim,

Not much sympathy for folks crying the blues about the cost of an
address assignment that they're going to turn around and announce into
the DFZ...

Bill,

ARIN has implemented a structure to facilitate IPv4 address transfers
should an open market come to exist. Between an address market and the
ever more creative use of NAT, it should be possible for IPv4
addressing to continue after free pool depletion as a zero-sum game.
Exactly how long is a matter of debate with speculation ranging from
months to decades.

Owen,

ARIN's unilateral right under the LRSA to reclaim my addresses in the
event of a dispute bugs me a tad, as does similar verbiage sprinkled
throughout.

Probably not. SMTP is the only major service any more that cares. But
that's immaterial; ending RDNS for legacy registrants has been an
empty threat from the day the notion was first hatched.

Bill Herrin
