The idea of locally-unique address space certainly appeals but I don't believe it should come from the rfc 1918 space. That's *private* address space - Citylink isn't private.
If we're going to start running a complex system on Citylink then someone will need to manage the address space, allocation of private AS numbers, DNS for the locally-unique address space etc. That looks to me like a set of services that should be provided by Citylink themselves.
Agreed. It does however seem that this is only viable if we all choose to participate in ONE exchange on Citylink. CNHL might not be too keen to administer multiple exchanges over Citylink. Not that I speak for them though - Simon? While we are on the subject though, where did that discussion lead? Joe put forward the idea of cranking the ISP (what ever that means) IX on a separate set of fibre's. How does everyone else feel about this. I presume that this means having to maintain two citylink connections if you have clients on the main LAN?
