If you have a /16 and individual /24s are going for more than a /16, why would you sell it as a /16 instead of selling the individual /24s? If anything, I would think a /16 would cost more, because it would be more desirable than 256 /24s in the case of route filters or route charges. > I'd also very much like to hear more about IPX proxies. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/751/ij/home.html is one. -BD
