While reading this, a few things came to mind:

-It seems that at least a few people are observing RFC1918 addresses showing up in routing tables. This is rather interesting in and of itself; would it not make sense (as a router administrator) to filter annoucements (or summarizations that include) for RFC1918 address space?

-The fact that any traffic from RFC1918 networks is being accepted at end hosts is allso quite interesting, in that most diligent host or firewall administrators will premptively drop IP datagrams from such address space.

...Maybe we're seeing another lacking area of systems administration coming to bear?
