Multihoming Suggestions w/o at Least a /24?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday February 20, 2003 @08:05AM from the messy-routing-issues-301 dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I work for a small company who is looking to get a multihomed Internet connection for redundancy. The logical conclusion would be to get another internet connection to another provider. However, in the case of a primary connection failure, we need to be running BGP to have our internally-hosted sites still accessible to the Internet via the 2nd connection. The problem is that we only have a /28 (16 IPs), which is too small to make it past most route filters, and would then mean that we still couldn't be reached if the primary T1 is down. So, what's our options? (and no, lying and getting a /24 isn't a valid choice)"

Tunnel the brokers, then assign the DNS to Primary Host Address by utilizing 802.11b MAC DMOZ connections.

After that, route the Cisco PIX firewall into the BSD kernel executable where source code would be debugged. You need to update your rpm files with Solaris 9 and Oracle 8i. Boot that into Windows 2000 and set up IPv6, where static routes would tunnel through TCP/IP Stack NetBios.

Open the Port 36, compile MBR and wait till the drivers install.

Reboot, and you're done.

Hope this helps ;)
