In defense of ARIN, the ice on a net block has to be broken at some point. They could wait 3 years and notify every list every hour of every day for those 3 years and there would still be many networks filtering those networks. The only way to catch it is to notice the block and make contact with the network. In many cases, personal contact is necessary as emails are often misunderstood or ignored. I repeat my suggestion that a number of DNS root-servers or gtld-servers be renumbered into 69/8 space. If the DNS "breaks" for these neglected networks, I suspect they will quickly get enough clue to fix their ACLs.
Add Eddy's suggestion that the addresses all end in .0 or .255 and you have a fine machine for cleaning up a few old, irritating problems. -- Jeff S Wheeler <jsw@five-elements.com>
