It is a bit of a blunt sword :) I constructed this list by checking who the class A address block was assigned to by ARIN. In this list, they are identified as belonging to: afrinic, apnic, jnic, lacnic, and ripe so you can pick and choose. Hopping on my soapbox... Security is best approached in layers and if you can, disallow all and allow by exception. I don't have any illusions that this is a panacea to online security issues, but I think it is a "cheap" outer layer with a great payback. On my home Asterisk & email server, it blocks about 1.5 million packets a week. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards [email protected] Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
