Tell me more about this. What about configuring the routers only to route IPs that are assigned on each connection? In the worst case you set for each connection a static IP. How can anyone use IPs they haven't been assigned to in this case? Do you want to tell me that for leased lines there is no way to stop bad people to use IPs that haven't been assigned to them? Where is the big difference between leased lines and DSL? I'm a beginner in the networking section but even i know some ways to secure the ISP-side. I can't imagine that all those big ISP like Worldcom/UUnet have no idea how to secure their IPs. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
