Big deal. Give them the list. Just copy it from your Admin screen. Unless
you've got a ton of IP's from them and you're just sitting on them for no
good reason, they'll want them back.
Be sure to set up some anonymous FTP on any IP's you think they might tell
you to use virtual hosting for. Running anonymous FTP, IIRC, is one of the
approved ARIN uses. However, from what I saw on the ARIN site, they dropped
the virtual hosting requirement, or are at least rewording it, that was
meant to conserve IP space. Too many problems if you read some of the
threads in their discussion list. I particularly liked the one of the ISP
that had a problem with one virtual site.

A lot of similar issues regarding seeing domains before they propagate that
have been discussed on this list. I'm surprised none of them that I saw
mention the Windows hosts file for FrontPage users.
