Walu, Headlines can be deceiving, APNIC is down the their last /8 (16 million addresses), so at this point slightly different rules adopted by the APNIC community kick in. They are not completely out, as the headline suggests. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there."

------ It’s official: Asia’s just run out of IPv4 Addresses Well, that was fast. The Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC)<http://www.apnic.net/>has just released the last block of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses in its available pool. We knew this was coming when the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) <http://www.icann.org/>and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) <http://www.iana.org/> announced in February that the last of the world’s remaining IPv4 blocks had been assigned<http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/don-8217t-panic-it-8217s-only-the-internet-running-out-of-addresses/656>to the Regional Internet Registries (RIR). What we didn’t know was that APNIC would run out quickly. I, and most other people, thought that its supply of IPv4 addresses would last until at least early summer. We were wrong.
