Yeah, check with the DoD NIC 100% of the time. Probably a pretty safe bet that unless they are a US government agency, they're not authorized. 

For anyone who did not attend NANOG last week, representatives from NCIS and the FBI reminded the audience in no uncertain terms that "industry standard squat space" does not exist. If you're 'borrowing' DoD space, hope you don't get caught doing so. :)

22/8 is actively used by DoD, just not publicly. It would be in your best interest to not accept routes for it.

if you need something more official, contact the DoD NIC directly at the email address specified in WHOIS.


Precisely what I was afraid off.  I have contacted the DoD NIC, am waiting for a response from them.

Thank you Jason,

Chris.
