I'd strongly advise against folks doing it statically.. there seems to be ongoing issues with stale filters each time 
new address space is released. Even with the best of intentions folks change role or employer and things can get left 
unmanaged.

The craziest stuff that gets announced isnt in the reserved/unallocated realm anyway so the effort seems to be 
disproportional to the benefits... and most issues I read about with reserved space is packets coming FROM them not TO 
them....
