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,
