returning 127.0.0.2 for everything would be an ugly way to bow out.
yes, but it's been done before.
Someone has been in contact with Joe via phone and posted to another mailing list That Zhall Not Be Named that exactly that is happening. The zone is dead, he's put *.*.*.* in, he's asking people not to use it anymore. It may be back in the future with a new network setup, but right now consider it down. We're working on getting him to send out a public announcement. Yes, this is due to a massive DDOS. At least three of the spamfilter BLs have been so attacked this week. Some of the networks represented here have not been as timely about helping the BL providers with the DDOSes as they could be. Please keep in mind that without dynamic BLs anti-spam folks will fall back to sending out static block maps, which getting your IP space out of will be difficult if not impossible. IT IS VERY MUCH IN NETWORK OPERATORS BEST INTEREST THAT THIS NOT HAPPEN. Please take what measures are necessary to help ensure that your customers are not intentionally or neglegently DDOSing the BLs. -george william herbert gherbert@retro.com
