No, but putting your car on a private road that you need to circumvent several roadblocks to reach IS a pretty good deterrent to its being in an accident.
I doubt the roadblocks are anything serious in most cases; if all you're doing is RFC1918 addressing, then source-routing on the attacker's side can probably make your box theirs in short order. Most people of this ilk I've encountered think so highly of RFC1918 addressing as a security measure that they blindly assume no other precautions are necessary. I would hope that no-one on this list would stoop to *that* level of stupidity. Presenting a "security by obscurity" argument is bad enough.

Blocking source-routed packets at the borders will stop this in short order, except for those of you who peer with people who require "loose source routing". (Randy, I believe it was Verio that required this, am I mistaken?) --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
