Max, the thing is that you have a /20 assigned by ARIN, but I
think ARIN delegates 16 /24s to you, and Derrik is saying that
you can't redelegate the whole /24.

If you had a /16 the case would be totally trivial, not
involving RFC 2317 at all :-)

Why?  I have no experience with ARIN, but since (I suppose) ARIN
delegates 16 /24, can't you just say that one of those /24s has
different name servers?
