It's very ugly, but I put in two /32 routes internally for my old
resolver addresses in Net-99 space... this keeps them reachable from
the inside. If they ever get reused, I just won't have connectivity
to those two hosts.
I think now that it is a mistake to ever give out resolver IPs from NP
space. If you don't have your own space, use 1918 space.
