Perhaps that's something you should "outsource" to your provider?
Plus, you missed the part: "If you don't have multihoming
requirements other than availability". Bogon filters do _not_
enhance availability. (And please don't argue about things like
attacks from unallocated space - the disconnectivity caused by un-
updated bogon filters is much higher than the increase from things
like this.)
