The resolver is used by customers who sometimes leak RFC1918 requests
to our resolver. I already told them to resolve that network
internally, but still the IANA server is not working correctly IMHO.

I'm also thinking about routing the blackhole /24 to one of our
DNS-Servers to resolve all of the RFC1918 space locally, but that will
take a little bit more time.

BTW: No need to cc me, I read the list.

Sebastian
