Re: Peer1/Server Beach support for BGP on dedicated servers

[Adam Rothschild <asr () latency net>]

http://www.voxel.net offers web-orderable servers and VMs, with BGP
support (IPv4 and IPv6) available as a paid add-on in all service
locations.

I'm honestly surprised we don't see this supported by more folk in the
space.  The configuration is relatively trivial to automate, with IRR
data generating prefix-list updates, and the customer use cases are
compelling.
