Thanks a lot!  This is incredibly useful.

Yes, we are sort of prepared for the web server hoops. Not trivial since
our addresses aren't normally reachable from the Internet, even if they
are public and advertised.  We are only providing AS internal DNS
resolver service. Dropping outside traffic is an easy way to add some
protection.  But that's just one more hoop.

The technical challenges are nothing anyway. Getting permission from
sourcing to buy something from a new partner will be far worse... So I
will go another round with our existing partners first.

Thanks again.
