After talking with a colleague on the ethics of this message I (/ we) 
decided that I needed to make the same offer to everyone on this mailing 
list that I privately made to Rangi Biddle.

The company that I work for is in business to do many different things, 
included in which is helping with specialized configurations like I 
believe that Rangi Biddle is needing.  As such I offered to consult with 
Rangi Biddle for $1/min on what my company has done in the past to 
generate complete solutions not just pieces of the puzzle leaving Rangi 
Biddle to put them together on his own.

I my self and the company that I work for want to offer as much back to 
the community as it has offered to us.  As such I / we are willing to 
help point people in the right direction and show them some of the 
pieces to the puzzle.  However business being what it is I am not 
allowed to always provide the entire step by step how to guide for many 
different things.  My company has invested time and money in to being 
able to provide solutions using open source products for such things as 
load balancing a medium size network across multiple cable modems, 
redundant fail over routing for globally routable addresses, down to 
segmenting a multi tenant building so that tenants can not cross infect 
each other while sharing one single IP subnet.

I am curious what the community's reaction is to this and ask for and 
encourage responses with regards to when is it appropriate for 
individuals / companies to move from "free to the public" support to 
"reasonable rate commercial support".

I apologize if my actions offended any one.  However, please if they 
did, contact me either on or off list as I would like to know why they did.



Thank you and have a nice day,
