=============================================
This brings up another interesting question...
We operate Two separate networks in two geographical locations (Two ASN), we have a single /32 allocation from ARIN.
Question: Should we be asking ARIN for another /32 so that each network has it's own /32 or should be break out the /32 into /36 and use these in each of the geographies ?
