Re: Static Routing 172.16.0.0/32

[Ryan Hamel <Ryan.Hamel () quadranet com>]

1. A single known ip address that redirects to the closest internal repo server. 172.16.0.0/32 redirects to a usable 
subnet ip in 172.16.xx.xx by static route.

2. Internal private network that is reachable by clients.

A colleague of mine has static routed 172.16.0.0/32<http://172.16.0.0/32> to a usable IP address, to have a single

what not), I don't feel this should be the proper IP address used, but something more feasible like a usable IP in a 
dedicated range (172.31.0.0/24<http://172.31.0.0/24> for example).

Hi Ryan,

Some clarifications:

1. You say, "static routed to a regions closest server." What do you mean by that? A static-routed anycast address?

2. In what reachability context? Is this a private network? An ISP network where the reachability should be the ISP and 
its customers?
