DOH! I meant split a /20 into a /21, been a long week, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Cappuccio [mailto:chris@dqc.org] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:14 PM To: Christopher J. Wolff Subject: Re: Thoughts on BGP and Shared Hosting Environments My first suggestion would be to note that there is no way you can split a /20 into two /19s, but you can very easily split a /19 into two /20s. Maybe you should rethink your strategy. Christopher J. Wolff [chris@bblabs.com] wrote:
Had an interesting situation yesterday.
Received a new /20 allocation. Split it into /19's and advertised it to two separate backbones via two separate routers.
Users on the new /19's could get to about 75% of the available web hosts
on
the internet.
I removed the /19's and advertised the entire /20 out of both servers, problem resolved.
Any suggestions?
Also, what are the groups opinions on web hosting customers who want to install custom ASP and COM components on a shared Windows 2000/IIS hosting server? I'm having a debate with a sales dude over this issue.
My opinion is that it potentially destabilizes all of the virtual hosts on that system. When I hear "Can you install just a couple of ASP or COM components on my domain" my mind immediately goes to putting this customer in their own dedicated colo server. I don't think its right to jeopardize several hundred virtual domains because one $19.99/month customer wants to load up a special .dll. But that's just my rant, market conditions can dictate otherwise.
