Now we just wait for our IP block from ARIN.
OK, so for those of you that don’t speak the geek, what that means is that Joyent now has an official Point of Contact registered with ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers. These nice folks are the ones who assign every IP address on the ineternet to organizations like ourselves, so that ownership/responsibility can be assigned for any given group of IP addresses (called an IP block).
Once our application for IP space is accepted and we’re assigned a block of IP addresses, doing a whois on a Joyent IP address will report our ownership of the IP, rather than a third party as they now do.
In layman’s terms, for example, if the Internet’s IP addresses were real estate, we’ve just qualified with the bank, and are about to become owners, rather than renters.
