Yes, it does happen, that we get requests like that. We did get Jeroen
to set one of the SixXS PoP's up in our network, so I'd just refer them
to use that and to comply with the rules attached.

Over the years, I've also worked doing premium support for server and
storage hardware vendors. The amount of consultants that call in and
have no clue on what they are at, when they state these and that
certificate, that should have thought them the bits, is amazing.

The more elaborate the titel, the more bullsh*t has been applied and the
more lacking the knowledge is most likely. Just my 2c.
