Also consider that the cluster will output significantly more bandwidth than is downloaded over the Internet the load shouldn't be more than the benefit. In smaller deployments, I've commonly seen bandwidth savings of 2:1 or 3:1. If things got really lopsided we could modify the BGP attributes to even it out. We're not talking a huge amount of bandwidth with a small cluster (100 or 200 Mb/s peak down from the internet). jay ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
