After this 69.0.0.0/8 thing is sorted out I guess we can move the "critical resources" over to 202.0.0.0/7 to track down all the idiots blocking that range (trying to decide if I should put a smilie here).
I nominate the arin.net nameservers.
Most people seem to think it would be impractical to put the root name servers in 69.0.0.0/8 Why not persuade ARIN to put whois.arin.net in there instead? It shouldn't take the people with the broken filters *too* long to figure out why they can't do IP assignment lookups...
