1) Try starting at .65, .129, and .193, size 62.
As long as he's not aggregating, he shouldn't have any trouble starting with the 0's address (especially since he's defining it as a /C, so they really wouldn't even be a 0's address for that ;)
Yeah, I'm just being overly conservative there. :) And I aggregate, so I don't have a billion host routes in my ospf setup.
2) Create a new pool with a different name instead of trying to modify the old one. Then delete the old one. (It's smart enough to know if the old one is in use; it just marks it "delete pending", and then once everyone's logged out, it'll go poof on its own)
Yeah...that's one way of doing it...though I'm not sure it'll let you create pools that overlap IP addresses, so it may have to be a multi-step process if he wants to end up with a single pool.
It won't... so, yeah.
I just say, heck with it...use multiple pools and be happy. :)
I do that anyway, for efficiency's sake. A box with 9 PRI's on it has 3 pools of /25+/26+/27 instead of a /24... a full 15 PRI box would be /24+/26+/27. It helps make your case with ARIN easier when you go begging and pleading for another /20 or /19...
