I repeat my suggestion that a number of DNS root-servers or gtld-servers
be renumbered into 69/8 space. If the DNS "breaks" for these neglected
networks, I suspect they will quickly get enough clue to fix their ACLs.
Add Eddy's suggestion that the addresses all end in .0 or .255 and you
have a fine machine for cleaning up a few old, irritating problems.
