The worst thing about all of this is:
1. we don't _really_ know how many addresses will be needed
2. If things pick up there won't be enough addresses to go round and
we'll have to use IPv6.

Since we're not there yet, the best things is to show an intention for
usage and worry about the future a bit later.
