What do you use for your "justification form"?  I don't know why I keep
having to tell sales and junior people this, but we can't just sell/give
customers all the IPs they want.  I recently intercepted a customer
request for "another class c" and found they already had several.  When
they were told we'd need documentation on how they're using their previous
space before they could have more, they blew a gasket.  Well, ARIN's going
to ask us.
