Hi Brian,
The proposed hypothetical customer needed a /24 according to their
requirements. A /29 falls pretty far short without some sort of
NAT/PAT. I suppose it's possible that dual stack would make up for
that, but I wouldn't expect it to, currently. Anyway, this is well into
the realms of straw men - my current "big blocks" concern isn't a
collo'd server, it's a hotel that needs multiple IPs per room or the
WISP that needs a /24 and a /25. So far, IME, IPv6 doesn't help in
either of these cases. I'll be very glad when it does.
