Have you tried asking them for public IPs?    If they don't have any
to offer, ask them if they will support (BGP) your own ARIN
allocation.

IMHO, their move to do this is both good and bad.  Good because it
protects the idiots who lease systems they don't know how to secure,
bad because it removes capabilities that quality technical folks need.
