Sorry Luke,

On the PIX anyway to block a /24 netblock (class C for some) it would be:

.....deny IP 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

to block a /16  it would be:

.....deny IP 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0

NOT 0.0.0.255 and 0.0.255.255 as you stated. This is a fundamental different between 
many routers and firewalls.

And organizations are going to block what they want is most beneficial to that 
organization. We fortunately have the ability to block everyone, so we do...When we 
quit seeing abusive traffic on the wire things may change. 

If it's any consolation, we've only blocked SMTP traffic from Europe/Asia (so far 
anyway) with several exeptions..

cheers..

Marc

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.
