You need your own ASN, public IP network, and BGP; that's about it - or someone who can provide those to you via services.
A number of geographically dispersed data companies offer those services, but no, they don't come cheap. Regards, Michael B.

These are the only guys I know but in reading through their specs, besides being 20k, I didn't truly see what was going to be required. Basically I have 3 sites a primary and 2 failover locations (the company is split into two divisions each one fails over to another locale) I would like to be able to failover automatically to both. They are in the same public ip subnet but just need routing to different areas. I guess the overall question is what is required on our end to make this scenario work, and is there something other than big ip that could accomplish this successfully that I can research. At one of my colo's I see a bunch of Coyote Points but those seem to be load balancers not really wan failover type products. I was also looking at global dns providers which apparently offer this kind of masking service but I saw pricing from 1k-1.5k/month which doesn't make a lot of sense either.
