No? The part I think you missed is that the NLANR cache at MAE West will not have an ISP in the usual sense, and will not have a default route. Instead, it will have routes to whatever places the ISP's who participate in the cache experiment choose to give it. In a sense, all the providers who participate in the experiment will jointly act like "NLANR's ISP", and will jointly carry the traffic. --apb (Alan Barrett)
