Or web servers that shouldn't ever be calling out on 443, at least,
until we install a new gizmo that does and it doesn't work. Or my mail
server, which should never call out on 443, except that now we use
Cyren's spam/AV stuff, which does.

Still, it would be nice if there was a way to identify what type of
traffic/behaviour is expected of an IP, when a commercially run web
server starts attacking, it would be nice to know I can safely block 443
whereas I can't do that if it's a carrier grade NAT outbound IP.

Unfortunately I suspect maintaining such a list would be resource
prohibitive, and/or the data would be too low quality to be useful.
