OK. So now you have a business with their servers in a colo, all nice and protected. Now they need their offices multihomed, so that when UUNet's cloud falls over, or some DSL provider goes under, they still have the ability for the humans in their offices to get out to the Internet.
Or access to their servers. What is on that server may be critical to your business. When the server is in your office, your employees have good access to it but the Internet may not, and if you put the server in a co-lo, the Internet has good access to it but now your employees don't. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
