You are right, they don't offer an unlimited amount of IPs, ARIN requires justification. There are a number of reasons why it is (almost) technically impossible but I wont go into details so not to give anyone any ideas. The most basic reason is that all (in common use) CPUs can only perform ONE task at a time so even if you have 2000 threads (which would crash most operating systems and would not be allowed by windows, there is a maximum process as well as connection limit) they will run one after another which would probably not give you more speed than 100 threads.
Well I'm no genius -- but hello -- distributed processing... From my PC I could send out an instruction set to my drones -- ie: the "proxy" servers -- then the drones split up the threads... in the case of a "worm server" (is this possible?) it seems that the # of IP's you would have at your disposal would be virtually unlimited.
