Christopher, That seems reasonable to me. You're buying colo and transit, not firewall service. If you want firewall service, that's extra. If you do decide to move, I suggest a carrier neutral facility so that you can change transit providers without moving your equipment. The easier it is for you to walk away, the more accommodating vendors tend to be. Seeing much port 80 UDP traffic? My curiosity is piqued. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
