anyone who was facile with perl could transform a full list of open relays
or proxies into something that avibgpd could use, so that you could have
your access controls implemented as routes rather than acl's.  if you
combine that with policy routing so that you can blackhole traffic based
on source rather than destination, you could get the added benefit of not
having to take/deliver the SYN only to blackhole the resulting SYN-ACK.
