RFC 3330 only lists specially marked ranges of domains. 5.0.0.0/8 and 1.0.0.0/8 are listed by ARIN as, respectively, the RESERVED-5 and RESERVED-9 networks, owned and oeprated by IANA itself. So, they're "IANA reserved", but shouldn't necessarily be blocked by a firewall. Unless the makers of the firewall know something I don't. "ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=" is the ARIN lookup form. Try, for example: http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=N%20.%20RESERVED-5 or http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=1.121.22.146 So the question becomes: is the IANA running a node? -todd _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
