Nope. 172.[16-31].x.x are reserved for uncoordinated private use the same way 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html

botnet should probably be ignoring them completely, just like is does 127.x.x.x


Yeah, after someone mentioned that in another (off list) message, I remembered it. It's the one private block I don't remember automatically.

And, yes, it's in Botnet's default config for skipping, and for treating as a private network.
