I apologize in advance, I'm a total newbie...so what did you have to do?
Build resilience into his single homed, single point of failure non-redundant network.

============================================= Maybe it is possible he made a business decision based on the long term costs involved with multihoming/redundancy vs. the loss of near total reachability. He may have come to the conclusion that the probability of that scenario occuring was not sufficient reason to multihome. His call. I think we all assume that our provider "guarantees" us some sort of "total reachability". Near as I can figure, they do not. Therefore, you buy a pipe into their network based on percieved and actual connectivity and hope that the situation remains static at best. Does ANY provider give a "reachability" guarantee? James H.
