What kind of links would we use? I mean, we can't afford private links
between our racks, unless we were to use VPNs between our racks, so that
each link between distant racks would look like one hop. To be honest, it
would be cool to set up just for the fun of working though the issues, but I
am not sure much value (cost/benefit) it would have in terms of meeting the
narrow goal of preparing for the CCIE R&S.
It sure sounds like an interesting project. I want to get into the business
of teaching Cisco material, so I can have more time to play with my CCIE lab
that I am rebuilding. It seems like a pipe dream, but then getting the CCIE
used to sound like a pipe dream, so perhaps it's just a matter of having a
bit of faith and saying, "To heck with it. I am going to follow my dream."
Yes. I know. It's not a great time to pursue that particular dream, with
the training market in a shambles.
