Doesn't happen much anymore, ARIN posts to nanog when they are starting a
new block of bogon space and that usually is sufficient. Most places that
blacklist bogon space today are doing it with a dns blacklist that only
affects their mail servers. Only a few "secure" networks are
still running route filters for bogons, most of the others have decided it
was better to filter bgp /24 advertisements instead of worrying about
bogons.

Mike, it was easy to filter this stuff when the average home user had 56k,
but today with 5mb connections, customers requesting ima T1 groups and
100baseT not being sufficient to host local ethernet bandwidth requirements
for server farms and such, it's become a lot harder to justify wasting
router capacity. (that ima stuff is a real cpu hog btw)
