Perhaps 2 zeroth addresses in exchange, also. Getting 0 back is order

Haha, well, with v4 addresses now going for > $50 each, in the usual blocks of 256, it might be a fair trade.

If you want a static, I can tunnel you one for while… Works better the closer you are to Chicago, but I’m well connected there.

Although at ARIN 48 after NANOG, NIST laid out the details of the ongoing federal government push to IPv6-ONLY networking, with an 80% complete target by 2025. I expect we will see v6 pick up some steam over the next few years.
