[ixpmanager] Independent Route Server

[Justin Wilson (Lists)]

What we did is add a “cache router” to the IX.  All caching nodes go behind this so burning a /24 isn’t as painful.

However, we also have some Cache Servers that we fill with IP transit and that are part of a /25 network. Because of those two points, we need to give access to those servers (or actually that network) only to select members, so I can't advertise that /25 network to the regular Route Servers.

What do you think of this approach? Any similar case?
