Hi,
We have a deadline of around one week to get up 100 bridges, budget is
around $200 per month. More on that soon.
Let me clear and rephrase the topic: How do we manage to GET 100 bridges
in the first place? :)
We looked at Amazon yesterday. Turns out you can only associate one IP
at a time to one instance, which means you have to run 100 instances
(=VMs) for 100 bridges, which would amount to roughly 8000 bucks
monthly. Otherwise it would be perfect, as they have large blocks of IP
space around the globe, and you can easily switch IPs at nearly no cost.
Someone should definitely write up a guide on how to set up ONE bridge
at Amazon, because it is free for one year (!).
Rackspacecloud charges $2 per IP, but I haven't found information if
they have large/different IP spaces, and if you can associate them all
to one (or a few) VMs. Can someone please find that out?
