We've seen this type of behavior as well, and on larger networks than /24's. On one /18 that we have, someone was sending to xx.xx.255.255, and it was heading to the first /23 that was allocated out of that block. The customer that was lucky enough to be the recipient eventually had to explicitly deny the 255.255 address because no ip directed-broadcast didn't stop it. -- Matt Ranney - [email protected] Let's not let the students run the High School.
