I you are using uRPF, the SYN packets won't get through either,  
because they came from an interface other than the null interface. Not  
so helpful interddomain, but it protects your customers from each  
other (as BCP 38 does in other cases).

Not true for JUNOS; "discard" routes are still in the forwarding table
and are treated as a valid destination when it comes to loose-mode uRPF.
