[In a discussion of whether Digex, a reseller, should have its own
corporate networks CIX-routed without joining the CIX.]

That's hardly necessary; I'm pretty sure that the CIX and any of the
major transit-providing NSPs would be happy to consider each part of
your overall business as completely independent if each had a seperate
connection to the Internet.
If you have a way of doing that so that the costs of two connections,
one as a CIX-member reseller and one as a simple, direct customer is
less than the cost of having just having your whole organization join
the CIX, then I'd love to invest in your talents.

| backdoor" policy.
Why not ask the CIX's Executive Director, or one of the board members?
Sean.
