I just said that the proper way is to get an AS (which involves deploying external BGP). To cut to the chance, far too many people think you can do some server-side configurations and all of the sudden the Internet will change -- maybe because they understand simple NAT/PAT for their home or small office network. It's far, far, _far_ more complicated when you start talking about the Internet targetting _you_ as a "destination" on the Internet. ;-> And that means how you appear to the rest of the Internet as a routed, _layer-3_ destination (i.e., IP). -- Bryan J.
