Well. Your problem may be that, when you split a /20, you get two /21s, not two /19s. Also, this is probably not the right forum for questions about NT web hosting - you may get better, or at least more constructive, information, elsewhere on that topic. - Daniel Golding -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Christopher J. Wolff Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:04 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Thoughts on BGP and Shared Hosting Environments 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. Regards, Christopher J.
