Re: [Nolug] Cox: grrrr.... BIG GRRR...

hrm...
How difficult would it be to set up your network so access to your
static $DSL_PROVIDER IP forwarded to your servers, and any connections
from them defaulted to using the DSL, while any connections from you
cable IP went to your non-server machines, which use the cable
connection by default to reach the rest of the world? Wouldn't be a real
efficient use of the bandwidth, but on the uptime, I could apt-get
update my web server without slowing down my browsing experience. And
all for around $100/month. That doesn't break the licensing on either
connection, does it?
Just a thought. Probably not something I'd do, simply because it isn't
worth the effort.
