There is no perfect location. Any common location has a certain level of insecurity. Im sure u could sneak in a squeeze bottle and spray equipment also. The point is, it is a relatively secure location, short of building your own facility or blding and manning it. Even many military installations are open to social engineering. Paul is absolutely right, as a good engineer and customer, put your suggestions in the suggestion box. Or access one of their people on the list. I think Bill Norton is easy to reach by email and so is their CTO. Dave At 18:54 +0000 8/20/02, Paul Vixie wrote:

Uh, yes. Equinix is a rip off in general. I got kicked out of Chicago using the side door. I was sick of the stupid man trap crap and noticed they had a door that was propped open in the back that leads outside. It was much easier to back the truck up there and go in and out. The whole thing is a joke, they spent a lot of cash to look good, but there is very little substance.
nevertheless PAIX hasn't made it to chicago yet, and equinix is quite a bit more neutral than a normal abovenet/exodus/att/qwest/ibm/uunet hosting center would be, and that makes them the only game in that town.
i recommend that you work hard at helping them fix whatever it is they're doing wrong. think of your work in that regard as a public service. -- Paul Vixie
