All:
Clearly things are not nearly as bad as some would like us to believe
and there should be no doubt that there are much larger pastures to farm
than having Web hosting companies convert to Name based virtual Web
services. For one, how many of the Class A allocations are going largely
unused? Some mostly don't even route. Until those massive segments of
address space are brought up to the same efficiency of utilization as the
typical ISP and Web hosting companies achieve, I think it's going to be
hard to convince many of us to comprimise our services to save a few
hundred or even a few thousand addresses.
