It appears I didn’t ask a very good question though :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The reason for the VPN is because the satellite site doesn’t have an option for BGP and only has 1 public IP available and we need about 40. The extra latency associated with the tunnel isn’t to much of a concern, really we just want the public IP’s at the other site and thankfully the main site has excessive bandwidth available. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The reason for the /23 announcement I feel is to get it out onto the internet, and then the individual /24 on the satellite site to make the routing simpler to configure, no? I think if I just do a /24 and /24 at main and satellite site I will need to get fancy in terms of how I configure Bird to forward the data?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The real issue is the ISP’s just don’t want to cooperate at all, all in the area see BGP as some sort of scary and mysterious thing…</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyhow, thanks again for your time.</div><div class="">Mike</div><br class=""><div class="">
