net 39 was used to validate the CIDR-style of addressing. I was instructed to host the nameservers for the prefix and there was an experiment to announce various fragments of the space. You can find the experiment and its results in the RFC archives. Since that experiment, ARIN came into being as has ICANN. They have apparently seen fit to move the prefix back into reserved space, but have not "cleaned" up the DNS delegation. You may think of this announcemnt as a "network appendix", of little intrinsic value. You may also find that its a reasonable way to validate your filters... -- bill (still waiting for the other shoe to drop...) > > > In a message written on Wed, Jun 19, 2002 at 12:33:36AM +0100, Stephen J.
