When a routing issue in our datacenter arose today, as a temporary solution i whipped out a proxy install that was so basic i couldn’t mess it up (and i definitely was doing “unsupported” tweaks to the files). To embelish on the routing issue a little more: a local isp moved some equippment into the datacenter, now on the same level in the same pool as our servers, their clients could not reach our servers when entering the routes from very specific directions. a temp solution is now in place and they aren’t sure when the permanent solution will work…don’t blame me….nothing changed on my end.
