Well, it sure looks like a "virtual" exchange to me.

Several providers use private addresses on their out-of-band management networks. I would prefer to use globally unique IP addresses between providers to avoid conflicts with the RFC1918 private addresses already in use in provider's networks, and if the addresses accidently leak.But of course, all the people involved have their border routers configured to do proper egress filtering of 1918 addresses, so they won't leak very far ;) Having said that, you can probably make the case that you're building a "virtual" exchange point, and ask for some address space for that? -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech --==_Exmh_1734063872P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/09/2001 iQA/AwUBO25N2HAt5Vm009ewEQLy2QCfUzHW7M92bBuMqgkvFSF6dfcsx+sAoODO NHz105yV3XzvFpPhbnuNn9AB =3aeS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1734063872P--
