[address-policy-wg] IPv6 PI resource question - Not for ISP but hosting

Hi All,

I've been following the previous thread concerning IPv6 PI assignment
but I'm running into a special case and need your input.

As a LIR, I did send an IPv6 PI request for one of our customers few
days ago and the hostmaster did point me to this previous thread saying
that we are in the same case and that he may reject this request.

The company requesting the IPv6 PI is a hosting company providing
software as a service solution for its customers. All the infrastructure
(servers, routers...) is owned by them. For security reasons, they chose
to isolate each of their customers on a separate VLAN. Their customer
don't have administrative access to the servers and just uses the
software hosted on them for their CRM, extranet or other corporate
applications.

Would you consider this to be the exact same case as an ISP assigning an
IP to a customer's CPE?

I really don't see the point for such a company to become a LIR as they
will only use those IPs for them. They also don't need more than a /48
as they are currently having about 50 customers.
