You need _3_ /32's for a couple of MIRRORS ??????
Come on... get a grip... I know there should be enough IPv6 space
but that is ludacrist!

FNIX doesn't exist as it doesn't have any members, and even if it had
an IX doesn't need any global IP space. (see AMS-IX cases for requesting
it).

You don't or you will ? What is it?
I don't have a de-yoda-fier here, sorry.

That's too be expected...

You want to announce a pTLA for a couple of MIRRORS from 2 colo boxes???
Cool, I can mirror some stuff, now I want my personal pTLA too!
Nicolas, mind you that the p in pTLA doesn't stand for 'personal'.
It's for experimental *deployment*, eg providing IPv6 access to users in
experimental stadia, not for having lots of IP space for ftp/www
mirrors.
