That's pretty significant!
It was specifically chosen rather then a ISP's IP as the master
address would not change as it had a bit more autonomy then one
provided by an ISP which was out of our control if we wanted for
example to change ISP.
I used to use a /28 from my provider, but the problem was
they needed to
change their feeds a few times, forcing a renumber (think I had about 3
of those, before switching to 44.190.x space). And I wanted a long term
stable allocation, so I didn't have to go through those administrative
hoops I previously mentioned.
The result is a very large number of repeaters spread around remote
locations in Australia most requiring 4WD access some not even
accessible until the dry season that would need to be visited to
update the repeater config via laptop.
Ouch! That's definitely going to be
nasty.
I can do it but it's in no way painless. I might be in the minority
but for us it's not just a couple of web sites.
I don't have the
accessibility problem, just a LOT of software
infrastructure. Like you, doable, but far from painless.
And I'm going to have to carry something like 400-500 IPs on the system
during transition!
