            I can't get out of here today so I'll be a bit 
late at tomorrow's IR bof; should be there in time for the 
concluding coffee, though ;-)

I don't have any war stories as such, just a few things
that occur to me:

1.  Most clients are beginning to learn about subnetting and
    are using single Class C addresses for multiple link IP
    addresses.

2.  Some clients complained that they had not been allocated
    enough addresses.  Such clients are always those who have
    done nothing about getting themselves connected, despite the
    advice and encouragement we have offered them.  Our answer
    to them is that when they really need more addresses to 
    connect hosts to the Internet, they should ask their local
    registry.  They can't complain.

3.  The service provided by the RIPE NCC as the European IP
    registry is an excellent one.  The secondary nameservice
    for the reverse zones in 193.1.0.0 was a great idea and
    well implemented.

Cheers.

Mike
