Perhaps that's something you should "outsource" to your provider?

Plus, you missed the part: "If you don't have multihoming  
requirements other than availability".  Bogon filters do _not_  
enhance availability.  (And please don't argue about things like  
attacks from unallocated space - the disconnectivity caused by un- 
updated bogon filters is much higher than the increase from things  
like this.)
