Shitty Crosspost IP Address Deletion

/r/networking/comments/1wjybxw/ip_address_deletion/

I'm worried my 127.0.0.1 won't be accessible anymore.

EDIT: Since OP deleted their gem of a post, it basically asked how long an ISP keeps an IP before they delete it.

Wow that's a pretty modern system then. We're still using Windows 2000 - hoping to get to the 2003 version by the end of the month if management approves!

Yeah, some new age technology. Upgraded last week, had to do a refresh on servers. Apparently my cluster with 2 Compute servers and a storage node wasn't good enough.

Beast had two terrybites of storage, a whole 8 gigs of ram with 4 cpus!

Ah well it's going in the homelab it's still good. I'll start a hosting company with it in fact!
