Maybe someone can jimmy you up a tunnel with a few IPs over it. What sort of bandwidth requirements do you have? That might help people decide if they can help. On 26/02/2011, at 3:46 PM, Craig Reynolds wrote:

Hi,

I've got a few servers in my home right now, which have come a couple of clients in the CBD. They'll VPN into them for the next week or three.

Telstra tell me that the only way they can provision additional IPs to my cable modem is to convert it to a business plan, and that there will be a three month lead time. Not too helpful. Technically I know it can be done - we used to do this in Wellington, but for the bureaucracy....

Is there any other provider that could do something in the near future with this? None of the servers are rack mountable, so not great candidates for a DC really. DSL isn't currently connected to this site, but the local cabinet is approx 20m across the road.

Thanks Craig

A workaround also depends on what those servers serve. Apart from the VPN, if it's all http and smtp, then you can proxy using a single address using apache/postfix (assuming you have linux) What are the actual requirements? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jean-Francois Pirus Technical Manager Phone (+64-9) 358 2081 Clearfield Software Ltd Fax (+64-9) 358 2083 1st Floor 8-10 Whitaker Place Mob (+64-21) 640 779 P O Box 3901 Auckland, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for all the offers of help (and still receiving offers), the main server will go to the unleash DC in the interim. Thanks Erin. Best regards, Craig On 26/02/2011 3:46 p.m., Craig Reynolds wrote:
