+1
Almost every customer I've dealt with who requested such a thing
eventually ended up having their contract terminated for spamming.
Many of the RBL's chose to increase the size of their blocks to put
more pressure on ISP's. So if you give them /29's in 10 different
blocks they will block the /24 in each, then a /23 in each, and so
on. Basically this becomes a quick way for you to get 100% of your
address space blocked, and make the rest of your customers really
unhappy. When the RBL's see you gave them a bunch of small blocks
in different supernets they assume you are spammer friendly.
