Well.
Your problem may be that, when you split a /20, you get two /21s, not two
/19s. Also, this is probably not the right forum for questions about NT web
hosting - you may get better, or at least more constructive, information,
elsewhere on that topic.

Subject: Thoughts on BGP and Shared Hosting Environments
Had an interesting situation yesterday.
Received a new /20 allocation.
Split it into /19's and advertised it to two separate backbones via two
separate routers.
Users on the new /19's could get to about 75% of the available web hosts on
the internet.
I removed the /19's and advertised the entire /20 out of both servers,
problem resolved.
Any suggestions?
Also, what are the groups opinions on web hosting customers who want to
install custom ASP and COM components on a shared Windows 2000/IIS hosting
server? I'm having a debate with a sales dude over this issue.
My opinion is that it potentially destabilizes all of the virtual hosts on
that system. When I hear "Can you install just a couple of ASP or COM
components on my domain" my mind immediately goes to putting this customer
in their own dedicated colo server. I don't think its right to jeopardize
several hundred virtual domains because one $19.99/month customer wants to
load up a special .dll. But that's just my rant, market conditions can
dictate otherwise.
