… I think Owen’s point (and my own in a prior message) is that anyone whose -purpose- is to lease addresses can -construct- a negligible-cost, ARIN-compliant way to do so. So sure, you can bust the first handful who skip that step before the rest get wise. Then what? Bill - Such activity leaves detectable artifacts both in the network and in the real world (e.g. solicitations for customers to utilize your leased IP space), and the risk of criminal prosecution for fraud if detected. Is that sufficient deterrent? I suspect not when it comes to sizable address blocks (e.g. /18), but given that ARIN is now issuing no larger than a /22, it might indeed be sufficient deterrent.
