Is it time to update RFC 1912? The original author has noted several additional errors, including the ommission of 1918 addresses. Although I guess since 1918 was published after 1912, that isn't surprising. http://www.visi.com/~barr/rfc1912-errors.html A published RFC is easier to reference when trying to get people to change their behavior than a personal web site. I remember configuring my DNS servers many, many years ago to sink 0, 127, 255 and RFC1918 addresses. But I can't remember what authority I used to justify it. Most DNS servers sink 127.in-addr.arpa, probably because the default configuration and just about every DNS book published shows it in the configuration file. Sinking the other "well-known" bogons seems to rely on word of mouth.
