[AusNOG] Speaking of ipv4 exhaustion ...

[Terry Sweetser]

Now that I have your attention!

If you're in recent receipt of ipv4 space from the new /8 blocks then
you'll also be feeling my pain.

If you're a lazy firewall maintainer or a complete idiot in charge of
some important packet routing hardware:

   1. you need to stop filtering these new address blocks immediately,
      they have (or will have) some busy internet users on them,
   2. you need to review your firewall or wrapper settings on your
      authoritative DNS servers, you need to answer */non-recursing
      /*DNS queries from these new addresses,
   3. you need to read RFC1918, maybe even cover your small cubicle with
      its contents, so you know what you should filter.
