That all sounds reasonable... but you'd think if somebody was going to squat on some IP address space, they'd pick somebody other than the DoD to mess with. :-)

Actually I do that quite often as the DoD's IP allocations are fixed and well known. I figure that since nothing on my networks should ever be talking to the DoD anyway, the worst that will happen is that DoD spyware can no longer phone home. No big loss :)
Wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that on a public forum...
