I stand corrected. I checked with our service delivery department, who
actually does our SWIPs these days, and they don't do anything larger than
a /29 any more either, for the same reason that Hunter doesn't.
My apologies for the flawed data.

I actually haven't SWIPped a /30 myself - I was referring to John Murphy's
statement implying that he has successfully. I have SWIPped /29's,
however.-C
ARIN returns my /30's and says I can't do netblocks larger than /29 so I
stopped doing /30's. Are you paying them something on the side or just
not
reading all the replies from them?
