If somebody setup a network using a subset of the address space from rfc1918 space they'd have to reconfigure appropriately too. All anybody really cares about is that these queries aren't beating up the root/gtld servers, so adding a check to the referral-chasing would solve that problem and wouldn't impose additional work on the users. I don't really want to speak for anyone else here, but it always appeared to me that the problem Vix keeps mentioning is queries with 1918 SOURCE ADDRESSES, not 1918-space queries. This thread, like every nanog thread, has completely lost focus of the original issue, and devolved into some brain-damaged solution to an imagined problem. And if he doesn't find the idea of randomly balkanizing the in-addr.arpa delegation chain for random bits of space abhorrent, I sure do. matto --matt () snark net------------------------------------------<darwin>< The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke
