Re: Routed over this thing?

Use the magic of GRE tunnels, my son. <waves chicken bones over the
routers> I have a full mesh with three sites, all with GRE (on
which, BTW, you have machines, Todd ;) Ugly, but functional,
especially if the customer doesn't have access to the equipment.

Of course, I could be unclear on your question: how do you do this
without a "real" PVC to the customer?

The downside with the GRE kludge is that all your packets need to
take the long trip back to your central location to get "out" onto
the Internet, since I hope Verizon has asymmetric routing turned off
on their aggregation gear.
