I know that can be done but what is the minimum block size ISP's will route? I've heard of some nationals not wanting to route even full class C's. What about a situation where a place had two /27's from different ISPs? I think any place would balk at adding a route for a measely /27. Having one pipe for outbound and the other for inbound might be a solution. Or possibly some kind of address translation to load balance between the two pipes, like say IP over IP encapsulation. Small block routing has always been a sticky wicket. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| +———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————+
