I think you will find other networks do the same thing. It is an entirely sane thing to do, and it helps force people to aggregate their routing announcements properly. Also, it protects you against fat-fingers that people sometimes do (one time UUnet announced 50k extra /24s in classful B space). Alec -- Alec H.
