Karl, Sometimes I think you work for the Yoyodyne Corporation from some movie or another. Tell you what. You watch the capitalist system of our country reward companies that utilize new technology to encourage better service. It really shouldn't be that terribly hard to convince Mr IS director that the hot swap and load sharing functionality benefiting the web server you want to sell him, signficantly outweights the benefit of him having his "own" IP address. Please don't infer that the big providers are evil greedy bastards out to use their will to trash companies who exercise new technology. If you can somehow explain to me/us how using NAT places a company at a disadvantage, I'd love to hear it. -alan > Tell you what. > > You get ALL the providers to agree via BCP that all customers must run NAT > on their leased line connections. > > Every one of them. > > That is, a nice level playing field. > > Then come back here and let's talk. > > Or is this a "big guys don't have to" thing again?
