Nice, although it doesn't explain the purpose of having the routes if you have an acl. To keep viruses from attempting to contact bogons? To stop your internal network from surfing the bogon web which can't reply back anyways?

It's a generic config -- note the "! Default route to the Internet [...]". Saves you some microbucks on that burstable Internet link, or maybe some of that micro-upstream-bandwidth on your ADSL when you get those spoofy pings. Hey -- you asked.
