No, but we have around 8K devices using our legal address space. Just
because I don't currently expose my hosts doesn't mean I don't want the
option to be able to. When we registered, firewalls weren't the
up-and-coming thing, but then I've also got a /23 being routed via my AS.
Most of that comes from the fact that my addresses are pre-CIDR customer
registered ones. Once again, it's back to the whole aggragation of
routes vs. disaggragation of traffic.
There, now that I've used disaggragation in a sentence, I'll sit down and
shut up.
