How would your customers then reach that customer? Although this wouldn't be THAT BIG of a deal for small networks, if say a larger or a Tier-1 provider practiced this (AFAIK, the only somewhat large network to do this is, believe it or not, PCCW), your customer would experience a major outage. There must be a better way. :) > Pekka Savola Regards, Randy
