Why would one bother with IPv4?
Just start using IPv6, that IPv4 stuff will disappear over the next few dec=
ades by itself.

A /17 would only last a few moments, not worth the effort of recovering it.=
Though indeed the reason why CGNs are being deployed is so that the busine=
ss parts of the same company can charge extra for public IPv4s.

Interesting, I did remember rotorouter[1] and check the below url for what =
the reply to that was, the above one. Funny, seems that mr.Assange did some=
thing semi-useful with computers back then *wink* ;)
That trick does not help in setting the reverses though as one does not con=

round the net and reorder them into something coherent...
