Kashpureff Black List (REALLY AN OPERATIONAL QUESTION)

Wed Jul 23 14:31:33 UTC 1997

However, a coordinated effort to block them all could, correct?  Kind of
like the sanity filters at customer borders.  Don't allow traffic into your
network that doesn't originate from their assigned network numbers.  If
everyone were to block the ranges no one would get polluted...

So is it my understanding that it is technically possible, but logistically
impossible to coordinate?   If we were to block them, then we wouldn't have
to worry about every idiosyncracy of BIND, both known and yet to be found.
