With the holiday freezes approaching, it might be worth making sure that the recently allocated /8s are not in your bogon list....
23/8
100/8
5/8
37/8
Just sayin'
105/8, 2/8, etc etc
Now that the holidays are over and IANA v4 depletion is likely days away, perhaps its time to consider stripping your bogon lists down to the bare minimum, and as someone else said, declare bogons dead and move to martians?

There are still some 7,000 prefixes in the v4 "full bogons" list. These
are such things as allocations to RIR's but have not yet been allocated.
It's updated every four hours:
http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/Bogons/fullbogons-ipv4.txt
" The traditional bogon prefixes, plus prefixes that have been
allocated to RIRs but not yet assigned by those RIRs to ISPs, end-users,
etc. Updated every four hours."
That is one probably best taken by BGP feed and not done manually.
Yes, I was referring to static/manual bogon list. The Cymru BGP feed rocks.
Static bogons are the bane of my existence... The pain of trying to explain
to someone for MONTHS that they haven't updated their reference, with
traceroutes to back it up, and they continue to say that it has something to
do with my network.

THey're right -- your network is using an address range they've chosen to
configure their equipment not to accept... <grin>

You win. They had that address filtered way before I ever used it, silly me
for not checking first 
What I really wanted to say on the list, though, was everyone that waits 1+
years between bogon updates can go to hell. They wait some poor flunky (me)
has a customer yelling in my ear because "I could access that website fine
before I switched to you".... *sigh*

The RIRs have decided to hand out the "polluted" space to large providers to ensure the greatest damage to those who are too stupid to update their filters.
If you know anyone who runs a network, tell them to remove their static bogon filters today. Seriously.
