Why would they want to do that? Proxies help to hide the internal addresses. If the internal addresses are hidden, why use allocated IP address space at all? Seems very wastely. InterNIC seems to agree with me, as they won't allocate blocks unless 25% are connected to the Internet immediately, and 50% within a year. > -Dave Tom
