Re: [lisp] LISP EID Block Size

Actually, that use case is only helped by the EID block if you can be 
sure that ALL the destination EIDs it will see will come from the block.
Which seems to be impossible to ensure in the general case.  And easy to 
achieve without an allocated block in many of the special cases.
