I think this is a pretty dumb question, because I presume this is how most organisations save money and provide resilience. What (if any) are the legal implications of taking internet destined traffic in one country and egressing it in another (with an ip block correctly marked for the correct country). Somebody mentioned to me the other day that they thought the Dutch government didn't allow an ISP to take internet traffic from a Dutch citizen and egress in another country because it makes it easy for the local country to snoop. I've done lots of searching and have our legal council investigating but I thought someone here might be able to point me in the direction of any legislation? (I'll summarise any off-list replies)...
