I'm curious, if you're connected to a switch, then you don't have control
over your public IP Addresses then such as DNS,... or is this mostly used
for office to office links as opposed to a gateway to the internet?
I guess the reason i'm wondering is we currently have an entire class C and
we host our own DNS, web servers, ftp,... and I'm curious as to how this
would affect our routings if we do go with such a service.
