My apologies if this question doesn't belong here.
We have a PI /24 we'd like to advertise out of our primary data center
for production use. (Well, actually, we'll be advertising a more
specific from our /21 assignment, so already not too friendly... but I
digress.)
We have a disaster recovery site which will have a clone of the myriad
production servers. We'd like to fail over to that site
automagically.
I'm thinking advertising the same prefix and just doing several
as-prepends. However, now I'm not sure if this is a polite thing to
do or not.
Someone mentioned to me something with MEDs, but as soon as that term
was used, I started twitching, and couldn't follow the conversation.
Would a "good netizen" use the as-prepend method? Or am I missing a
simpler/more polite solution?
