RE: 69.0.0.0/8 - Please update your filters

We were an early user of the 69/8 address space.  I started the original
thread on this subject back in Sept/Oct 2002.  While I am very disturbed
(but not surprised) to find out that there are still serious issues with
networks acknowledging this allocation, this is one of the best
suggestions I have seen for doing something to force the issue.

If the alternative is getting space, giving it to customers, and 
explaining why they can't reach X, Y, and Z on their connection to us,
but 
they can on other internet connections, we're going to at least have to 
try.

I like the idea of moving the gtld servers into such space.  That way,
the 
networks that are at fault will break, and they'll be well motivated to 
fix their filters.
