An RFC that says they shouldn't be routeable over the Internet doesn't mean that they aren't. I've seen plenty of cases where a misconfigured router has sent RFC1918 packets out onto the net. Blocking them at your border is cheap, so it makes sense to do so. Tet -- Perl is like vise grips. You can do anything with it but it is the wrong tool for every job. -- Bruce Eckel
