I'm not sure who your service provider is, but in my experience if you are collocating within a DC in NZ you usually pay for the international connection speed rather than the amount of data going over the connection. Typically you are looking at about $1k per 1mbit.
So if that's not in your budget, I would suggest hosting two servers. One in NZ and one in USA. -Nick On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 9:36 PM, Adi <[email protected]> wrote: > Pain is inevitable i guess.
