Some user education would be in order then. Ie. tell them about the forthcoming Demise Of The Net because of IP numbers running out because everyone needs their own address, etc. Also, according to RIPE, and if memory serves me correctly, you cannot request IP address space just to host virtual web sites (well, you can request it but you will have to return it one day.) I'm really not going to fill in a ripe-141 and waste yet another /24 just so that all our customers can have their own ip address.
