Re: [lopsa-tech] Looking for Guidelines on used elctronic donations

2014-12-10 Thread Matthew Barr
You can do it with VPC peering. Default VPC is a convince, but not hard to replicate. The new one won't be the default, but it'll be ok. Or, you could use subnets inside 172.31, within issue, I believe. Haven't tried that, but peering was easy and simple. Sent from my iPad > On Dec 10, 2014,
