Getting Started With BGP

Hi all,

Simple question - I'm looking into running BGP for a set of servers
for a company. There are 5 servers now, and the network has been
allocated a /29 by the upstream cable provider (isolated from any
other machines). The company also has a DSL connection which is
allocated a /29, and handles connections from employee workstations,
etc. I'd like to make the servers fault-tolerant through BGP, and have
been researching Zebra for this task. However, my research has
indicated that we need provider-indepdendent IP address (PI-Space) for
this task, and when looking online at ARIN I see the smallest space
they allocate for multi-homed sites is a /22, far too large. Are
smaller organizations out of luck when it comes to announcing their
own routes?

Thanks!
