and made only at the request of ARIN or an upstream provider.
PLEASE NOTE: The allocation of IP addresses is restricted by the
policies of ARIN. These policies now dictate that name-based hosting
MUST be used whenever possible. DataAnywhere.net reserves the
right to periodically review IP address usage and revoke authorization
to use those IP addresses not being utilized or where name-based
hosting could be used.
