Hi folks, We're expanding (again), and need to bring a new secondary box on-line to handle backup MX, DNS, and critical storage. I'd estimate usage would be on the order of 15GB/month pull, ~2GB push, but that is actually rather arbitrary. That could be easily reduced if bandwidth is a concern. (It sure is here :-) We would be using traffic shaping to enforce a nice sine wave, so burst rate would be very close to average transfer.
What I'd like to do is a straight exchange with someone here for a similar service. I would just need something very basic... 1U or 2U server, one static IP + reverse, 40GB or so of IDE storage, bare OS install, no control panels or management or any of that jazz. :-) Support required would be extremely sparse, limited to running a few commands in single-user mode on rare occasion. In return, we would reciprocate with a similar service. I am not fussy about location, as long as the network is reliable, and latency is minimal. I'd prefer something not too close to where we are (network-wise), so we can gain some diversity. Ideal timeline for deployment would be about two weeks or so, although that's somewhat negotiable. Please email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with any ideas/offers, and what you would want/need in return. As long as your requirements are a reasonable match in value, I'm open to just about anything.
