ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Effective July 31, 2000, Virginia Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Merger Sub") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of InterNAP Network Services
Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Parent"), was merged (the "Merger")
with and into VPNX.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), dated July 6, 2000, among Parent, Merger Sub and
the Company. The description contained in this Item 2 of the transactions
consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Reorganization
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Report as
Exhibit 2.1.

Pursuant to the Merger, each then-outstanding share of common stock ($.001
par value) of the Company was converted into the right to receive 0.11030 of
a share of common stock of Parent ("Parent Common Stock").

In the Merger, up to 2,306,082 shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued
to the former stockholders and holders of rights exercisable for shares of
stock of the Company. All Company outstanding rights to acquire Company
common stock assumed by Parent in the Merger are exercisable for up to
278,973 shares of Parent common stock. No fractional shares of Parent common
stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu thereof, any
holder of Company common stock who would otherwise have been entitled to
receive fractional shares of the Parent common stock will be paid an amount
based on the value of such fractional shares multiplied by $34.11 without
interest. At the Effective Time (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement),
Merger Sub ceased to exist and the Company, as the surviving corporation in
the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger was
intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and was to be accounted for on a purchase basis.
The acquisition of the Company and its virtual private networking technology
enhances Parent's ability to provide its customers with secure passage of
critical information over the Internet.

The Reorganization Agreement and the press releases issued in connection with
the signing and closing of this acquisition are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 99.1
and 99.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated herein by
reference.
