From the avoiding denial-of-service-attacks-that-impact-your-network point of view, putting your attractive-to-irritating-script-kiddies hosts on a separate network is a good thing, as you can always drop the specific network to save the performance of the rest of your network.
Yes, assuming you have some sort of PI /24 .. (if its just split from an aggregate which is also routed as most seem to be you still get the traffic)
If you happen to have a spare ASN around to do so with, even better.
ASN is irrelevant Steve
