Stupid Question of the Day for you, Matt: Why isn't the customer running a
news
server an pulling their own feed? Granted, it's still going to suck down=
your
bandwidth, but at least you wouldn't have to waste your time configuring=
your
software to accomodate their needs. Unless, of course, you're billing them=
for
your time.

When we set up a co-lo, the customer has to be running and administering it
all...that's the purpose of a co-lo. All you should have to give them is an
RJ-45 port, an IP address or two, bandwidth and a power outlet.
