No more than the other ways of doing the same things, of which FreeBSD has plenty (if less efficent). And I'd suggest that this is not the case anyway (but I'm not up to date with the assignment policys of RIPE/ARIN etc anyhow). My understanding is that ``If we think you've got a good reason for those address, you can have them'' is a reasonable summary; I suspect that being an SSL web farm is definatly a good reason, and I know that wanting to support virtual hosts in an HTTP/1.0 complient manner was, and maybe still is. -- Mike Bristow, Geek At Large ``Beware of Invisible Cows'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
