Yes, no and no respectively. As a BGP leaf node, I can guarantee that no packets leave my network from a source address that isn't mine. The destination I can't control -- my software will respond to any apparently legitimate external query. As for legal, even if I'm fortunate enough to never have a customer hijacked into a botnet, there are a vast number of legal systems in the world and no practical way to be sure that a given communication is legitimate in all of them. But by golly I have total control over the source address in packets leaving my network. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
