We have reverted to a NAT'ed network because we realized that some service
providers can't advertise our IP 's yet and that is why some web sites
couldn't be opened. The reason for this is that some of our peering partners
need to complete upgrades so that they can support our 4-Byte ASN. we
decided to convert to a 32-bit AS Number now instead of
a 16-bit AS Number because of expected ASN shortage in the 16-bit range
around the year 2010. We are probably the first to run a 4 Byte AS and some
of the older providers still run 2 Byte AS.

The majority of the providers we are waiting for are local as all the
international links are registered.

For 99% of our clients NAT'ing for a short while (probably till early next
week) while we contact those providers that can't broadcast our routes yet to fix this is not an issue.
For those that find this an issue we will happily cancel you application.
