DOH! I meant split a /20 into a /21, been a long week, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Cappuccio [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:14 PM To: Christopher J. Wolff Subject: Re: Thoughts on BGP and Shared Hosting Environments My first suggestion would be to note that there is no way you can split a /20 into two /19s, but you can very easily split a /19 into two /20s. Maybe you should rethink your strategy. Christopher J.
