It's generally considered something less than manageable to assign a
separate /30 to every single machine in your network.  Granted, I
for one have the address space to burn, but most people I know don't.
:-)

wollman@khavrinen$ rsh mintaka fgrep ' A ' /etc/named.db/lcs.db | wc -l
    4156

Oops... my switches only support 256 router interfaces.  I guess I
can't use your idea to increase my address-space utilization from 0.5%
to 2.1%.  Oh well....
