RBL lists everything you shouldn't be getting packets from, including
reserved IANA-reserved IP space, and AboveNet subscribes to a full BGP
feed. If you could null route based on source using this information it
would actually be a pretty effective method of maintaining a network wide
filter setup with little to no maintenence. :P
