I advise you (like is best for everyone who announces 44Net space on BGP) to make the system part of the IPIP tunnel mesh as well. I.e. make a tunl0 interface and run ampr-ripd on it, register it as a gateway using an extra IP address outside the /24 subnet. Add only the routes received over RIP, not a default route to ampr-gw. Of course you have a default route to your BGP router. This ensures that you are reachable for all AMPRnet hosts as well as normal internet systems, even when they cannot route their traffic transparently over internet themselves.
Sounds good.
It looks like we have 3 interested parties in the US and Canada, which would certainly help out for now. It would be nice if someone in the far east or Australia could join in. We always have a large number of users from Thailand, for example.
Just been talking to my VPS host, looks like I can go ahead and get a /24, and he's happy to announce it over BGP. The VPS is in Melbourne, Australia, and already hosts a considerable amount of IRLP and Echolink infrastructure.
