For somebody administering a network of 100 machines, the hassle cost of

Wrong. If you administer 100's or 1000s of machines you build or buy
a system for doing address management. Renumbering is only difficult
if your system is called vi :-)


Wrong ;) Well at least, up to 1000 is probably doable.
But what if you are talking about 100s or 1000s of organizations with
each a 100 or 1000 machines.

My site is 10k+ addresses. Seems easy enough to manage to me :-)
