That looks to me like alter.net is doing this just within their own network. If ctel.net is a customer of theirs, and and wordwrap is a customer of ctel, maybe much of this, if not all of this, is non-BGP and just default routed. There's technically nothing wrong with routing private numbers within you own net and offering that to your customers. I just tried to traceroute to those numbers from my MCI connection and it went into the MCI router and died. Is the existance of these routes causing you a problem? Are you using BGP? Can you filter the routes and packets in your access lists? -- Phil Howard | stop8701@spam5mer.com die9spam@anyplace.org suck1it1@anyplace.edu phil | end3it33@no0where.com crash539@anyplace.edu die9spam@anyplace.org at | stop4ads@anyplace.edu end9ads5@noplace7.net stop5376@spammer2.org milepost | no6spam8@no5where.net eat1this@no5place.edu no4way55@noplace8.edu dot | end5it41@spammer6.edu die8spam@no6where.org stop1313@no7place.net com | a8b9c4d4@no85ads4.org blow2me5@spam2mer.com ads8suck@no0where.edu
