</div>I wonder as well. Last time I looked very little of China's IP<br>
allocations have reverse entries and, given their GDP is said to reach<br>
the USA's in a few years and given they are Australia's largest<br>
trading partner, blocking or quarantining based solely on a lack of<br>
reverse is going to mis-identify a lot of genuine Chinese traffic.<br>
<br>
I know people love to see reverse entries and it makes traceroutes far<br>
more interesting, but since they aren't essential to the function of<br>
anything, maintenance of reverses has always, and will always, be<br>
haphazard at best. Much as the Internet Police would like to believe<br>
otherwise.<br>
