i.e. the collateral damage.

You´ll get burned anyway in a bad neighborhood because of the bandwidth consumed by the crap.

Say a phising site is "hosted" by geocities. Should geocities IP addresses be added to the blacklist?

What if it made it onto an akamaized service? Should all of akamai be blacklisted?

As with any list, whitelisting space that takes care of complaints is always an option.

LINX produced a paper recently on why BGP poisoning is exactly the wrong answer to removing access to undesirable web content (i.e. phising sites). I've asked if it can be made public.

Looking forward to it. Pete
