It's not a matter of the ISP's knowing what they are doing. It's that |
| 9 |
no ISP will announce a host route, x.x.x.x/32 into BGP. And if any ISP |
| 10 |
is retarded enough to announce it, no other ISP will accept it. So |
| 11 |
unless you're prepared to shift at minimum an entire class C, |
| 12 |
x.x.x.x/24, from one colo to the other any sort of IP sharing scheme is |
| 13 |
impossible. |
