Are you sure about that "renumbering" part? >From where I am sitting it appears that about 1.7 million of those 6.2 million IPv4 addresses are running web servers on port 80 and that a significant number of those, perhaps even a majority, appear to just be serving up what I would call "cookie cutter" essentially identical content, reachable only via what looks to me like essentially gibberish domain names that are being cycled in and out on a frequent basis by someone anyway. The remaining 3.5 million IPv4 addresses don't seem to be running anything that responds to port 80, and I kind-of suspect that a lot of this other space is being used for proxies, and proxies don't need any forward or reverse DNS at all, so renumbering those should be a piece of cake. The bottom line is that the task of renumbering, in general, can be made really really difficult if one has some reason to wish it so. I am not persuaded however that it must be so in this specific case.
