And let me tell you.. inheriting a network like that, knowing a better way to do it, will make you want to put a gun in your mouth. Two /19's worth of address space in VLAN1 (not just in one vlan, but in vlan *1*. Cisco nerds are slapping foreheads or spitting Coke right now.)
Trying to migrate customers to their own vlan when they've been alloted IPs, willy nilly, across one of the bajillion /24's secondaried on the vlan interface drives me into an entire new dimension of pissed off.
Don't even get me started on allocation and traffic accounting. - billn On Wed, 14 Jun 2006, Richard A Steenbergen wrote:

Go read WHT or GFY for 10 minutes for an example of typical hosters, and if you're not a drooling idiot in need of a brain transplant afterwards consider yourself lucky. :) And don't forget, there are hundreds of hosting networks like the ones I described, a lot of whom are in the 1 - 30Gbps traffic range, with absolutely no clue how to do better. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
