Can anybody confirm that this is current practice at vtx? Are other providers doing the same?
On a cybernet 4-IP-Addresses ADSL setup I can actively use the two "middle" IPs in a BRouter setup, the router using the lower address.
The vtx setup you describe is indeed kind of useless. If it's truth then I guess the vtx people need an update on best practice recomendations.
