[c-nsp] PoP(s) failure and WWW redirect

[Mark Tohill]

Ok, call me dense, but I'm still not clear on the goal here.  Are you:

1 - Trying to provide "users on the Internet" a temporary web page that
will be displayed when connectivity to the customer websites you host is
disrupted by loss of your provider connectivity?

>> Yes. Obviously if our sole provider has a major outage, we're
stuffed.
>> Scenario below:
       
 PoP1------PoP2
  |          |
  |          | 
  |          |
-------------------
| ISP1   |  ISP1  |
| PoP1   |  PoP2  |
-------------------

>> Each of our PoP's advertises it's own space although PoP2 advertises
our >> entire space. PoP2 advertises our entire aggregate, as well as
more
>> specifics. {Not much benefit here, but we done it anyway). Limited 
>> Bandwidth between our PoP's. 
>> Say we host our WWW from PoP1 and ISP1 PoP1 were to suffer an outage,
is >> there a way to redirect traffic destined for a particular /24 in
PoP1,
>> to a holding page, anywhere.
>> I know, I think I have lost it.

Ok, call me dense, but I'm still not clear on the goal here.  Are you:

1 - Trying to provide "users on the Internet" a temporary web page that
will be displayed when connectivity to the customer websites you host is
disrupted by loss of your provider connectivity?

2 - Trying to provide "customers on your network" with a temporary web
page
that is displayed when they try to reach locations on the Internet and
connectivity is disrupted by loss of connectivity to your provider?

3 - Something else that I'm not understanding?
