Title: RE: Ahhh, the perks of managing government networks

blacklisting a whole class C address isn't the solution!

I mean, I am part of the 195.0.0.0 address-range.If everybody starts adding this access-list to their border-routers it is over with my internet connectivity and a lot of complaints will follow from my neighbours and I am not from Poland

 

I thought that this mail was just a joke, but it seems that it is already being implemented (sites that are inaccessible etc)

Maybe someone already replied, but surely it's:
access-list reject_all deny ip 210.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
etc.

I prefer access-list blah deny ip 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 (webservers) applied to external router inbound.

No complaints then about Nimda, slow server response, HTTP 500 Server errors.

Just a few people claim they can't get to the website, but hey it works fine for me from inside. Must be a problem their end. Guaranteed to buy you a few days of freedom.
