I agree that IXPs would be very gould locations as they offer network
diversity, but there is one question still open and that is who will be the
one running the and monitoring the server. And we at DENIC have seen in the
last years an increasing demand in running the servics by ourself as only
then we have the complete control and information about statistics, network
attacks, performance ...

There is a project within CENTR where we try to share secondary services on
one host with the advantage for all geting these informations.

(And yes we are still working to connect to DECIX ;-) )
