[AusNOG] Reminder to fix 1.1.1.0 IP block

[Colin Stubbs]

I suppose if anyone can suck up the unsolicited traffic that those kind of
blocks are always going to attract it's Google.

Pollution includes indirect methods such as DNS records too, e.g. parking
records on 1.1.1.1. There's always going to be something trying to talk to
addresses in those blocks.

I make use of networks from 192.0.2.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24 a lot now for
lab and temporarily stupid situations. And even 169.254.0.0/16 sometimes
too on devices that don't care, or for DNS records.

They work well if you really can't use 1918 space for a good reason.

127.0.0.1 or something else in the /8 is useful too. e.g. MX records for
domains that should actually be dark.

Anyone have other suggestions?
