Michael,

Could you define "legitimately multihomed" please?

I think that a prime example would be a site such as
progressive networks, cnn (turner), msbnc, or any other high
traffic site.

They will be multiply connected to major providers,
but most use some sort of ip director, and all their
machines sit on the same /24.

Although I don't like the way some of these peoples networks
are built, they don't have enough machines/servers to justify anything
more than a /24 or even at most a /22, but still need provider
independent space as they may show up at regional exchange points.

Been there. Done that. See:

Requires me to scan Mae-East 4x a year and check whether they are still
multihomed. Can such a method scale? Don't know. -Hank

i suspect it depends on whether the registry thinks of the folk applying for
address space as their member/customer or as larcenous slime.
