Euhm, you do realise that the "to get address space from RIPE" part has ended last year, right? ;-)

I have heard that argument multiple times, but I don't understand it. What is wrong with:

"There is a very limited amount of IPv4 address space left, so I have to be able to justify the needs basis to get address space for this project from my boss/manager/etc and he/she requires us to make sure that you have a need for the address space too"

Cheers,
