Physical move back to LA
If you were wondering why the site was down for about 8 days, it was due to a physical move of the servers and a major screw up by Verizon. The site was only supposed to be down for 1 day, but Verizon screwed up the line order and was never able to get it working. So, I placed an order with the local cable provider for business Internet service and they were able to get me up and running.
The nice thing about business cable Internet service is that I get a guaranteed minimum bandwidth (unlike residential service), it is 3x the bandwidth of the service that I ordered from Verizon, and at 2/3 the cost. The only problem is that you don't have any access to the settings in the cable modem, and your public static IP addresses are hard wired to the LAN side of the modem, which used to be a major problem with only extremely expensive solutions.
There didn't used to be any low cost solutions that would allow you to place a firewall between the LAN side of the modem and your network, if you wanted to be able to use the public static IPs. A client of mine that has business service through Comcast, wasted over $6,000 on a firewall/router to do this. Fortunately, pfSense 2.0 beta (my firewall software) is free and supports IP aliases which allows you to give each firewall interface multiple IPs that are routable. It is beta software and there are bugs in the UI, but it's working very nicely for us.
