The only real way for you to check on our BGP session would be either you are our neighboring router or if you employ BGP yourself. In this case you are neither.
We do not use a Foundry NetIron as that device has too little switching capacity and not enough fiber ports. The cross connects from our layer2 switches are Fiber to our Foundry BigIron router. We use 1Gigabit Fiber Ethernet multimode SX connections to our backbone providers not 10Gigabits.
We use load balancers to manage our traffic so just because likewhoa.com appears to be on 1 Cblock doesn't mean that's our entire network. We host quite a few clients and we definitely could not fit them all on 256 IP addresses.
As for leaving our SNMP communities open that's not really possible as they have Access Control List on them and only priveleged IP's are able to get replies. You wish you had access to our MRTG graphs =)
Also how is it possible for you to test our redundancy protocol. Things like HSRP/OSPF do not have to be publically advertised, so unless you have access to our router there is no way for you to know. And Foundry supports their own proprietary failover/redundancy protocol that we ARE employing.
