RE: Net-24 top prefix generating bogus RFC-1918 queries

guys.. I have a thought...
I am a charter fiber customer..
AND they use lots of 1918 address for management even some customer links.
I have seen this on all the cable providers..
unlike Sprint/MCI/ATT they don't use 100% RW on all their equipment..

then they leak because the BGP is not filtering properly..

lol either they deliberately announce rfc1918 via network 10.0.0.0 or redisting igp into bgp...

priceless.

Uhm, incorrect.

A DNS lookup for a RFC1918 in-addr.arpa record is unrelated to BGP or
BGP filters.

If you want to generate an RFC1918 in-addr.arpa query to the AS112
servers do the following

nslookup

Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

set querytype=any
10.in-addr.arpa

Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
10.in-addr.arpa
        origin = prisoner.iana.org
        mail addr = hostmaster.root-servers.org
        serial = 2002040800
        refresh = 1800 (30M)
        retry = 900 (15M)
        expire = 604800 (1W)
        minimum ttl = 604800 (1W)

Authoritative answers can be found from:
10.in-addr.arpa nameserver = BLACKHOLE-1.iana.org
10.in-addr.arpa nameserver = BLACKHOLE-2.iana.org
BLACKHOLE-1.iana.org internet address = 192.175.48.6
BLACKHOLE-2.iana.org internet address = 192.175.48.42

Your query will then be included in John's statistics. You BGP filters
will not stop it.
