Hi everyone,

We're going to anycast a /24 for some DNS servers (and possibly another =
UDP based service)[1].

I see that ARIN are listing on =
https://www.arin.net/knowledge/ip_blocks.html the smallest allocations =
from each prefix.   Will we have trouble getting a /24 announced if we =
take it from a regular /20?

Or in other words: Do we need to get a block from ARIN from one of the =
prefixes that they specify they allocate out in /24 chunks?


 - ask

[1] For the NTP Pool system - http://www.pool.ntp.org/ - your network =
probably sent some of the 50-100,000 requests the pool members got this =
second. And this. And this. ...   :-)=
