Easy part: I need to provide my users acces to the internet from my HQ site via a local Internet connection or via a colo. Hard part: I also need to provide incoming access to hosted apps (HTTP, FTP, SMTP) from either location, so if the colo internet connection goes down the traffic can re-route to the HQ server farm and visa versa. I am in the process of purchasing an AS and ip space. Is it advisable to use the same IP space at both locations and run iBGP over a dedicated L2 connection between the sites.

so, say you end up with a /24 and your ASN split up your /24 into hq-/25 and colo-/25 from colo: 1) announce /24 as a standard adv 2) announce colo-/25 with *no-export* community set from hq: 1) announce /24 as a standard adv 2) announce hq-/25 with *no-export* community set Run iBGP over a dedicated link b/w colo and hq (I don't like allow-as in! but it is another option) ./Randy --- On Thu, 6/14/12, Philip Lavine source_ro...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Philip Lavine source_ro...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: best practives multi-homed BGP 2 physical locations To: Mick O'Rourke mkorou...@gmail.com Cc: nanog@nanog.org nanog@nanog.org Date: Thursday, June 14, 2012, 3:33 PM Easy part: I need to provide my users acces to the internet from my HQ site via a local Internet connection or via a colo.

Re: best practives multi-homed BGP 2 physical locations
I'm fortunate to have a /16, and advertise 2 /18s from the primary, and 4 /17s from the backup collo, /16 from both with AS Prepend on backup /16, and depend on BGP longest prefix route selection to create symmetric Internet routing back to my locations. I run IBGP between geographically diverse locations internally, over an L2 VLAN extended over a GiGE dot1q trunk. Internet-facing load-balancers select the best server from distributed server farms spread across the 2 sites. I think this is a fairly standard configuration.
