They won't accept routes you accidentally leak to them. Is it secure? Not really. Is it cheap, reliable automation, I suspect so. > This is not meant as a complaint toward Verio - I'm simply trying to decide > why we should go to the added expense of entering our routes in a RADB. To > date I have seen no operational difference between using RADB and not using www.altdb.net. No expense other than the time you spend keeping your objects up to date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
