Kill Verisign Routes :: A Dynamic BGP solution

Thu Sep 18 22:08:47 UTC 2003

I wanted to discuss the merits of the following:

I have written a proof of concept solution to nuke a route to sitefinder.
Code to those who care or to the list if anyone cares.  Perl is your friend
:)

Basic concept:  Use Net::BGP to set up a peering session with my route
server.  Query DNS for *.com and *.net on x interval.  Then take the answers
(if they are valid A records) and inject them into the route server (which
in our case is used solely to feed a blackhole network to sink traffic from
APNIC space, etc).

If an address no longer appears in the DNS (i.e. the idiots switched hosts),
withdraw the route.  If they set up multiple hosts, it will catch each one
of them.  You can set the polling interval as you please.

Thoughts?
