Umm, they were, shall we say, unclear. I heard from one PAIX source that
they would give IPs to hosts (non-routers), but another source (at ISPCon)
said that they wouldn't.
I'd like to know the answer to this (re: PAIX. No other exchange that I
know of gives IPs for use by non-routers that aren't RA machines). It's
well-know nthat ploth has a host on the Sprintlink && Pennsauken
gigaswitches @ Pennsauken, but I'm quite sure he doesn't run web services
on it :)
