[dns-operations] Looking for a public blackhole/sinkhole IP address

[wbrown at e1b.org]

Not replying to anyone in particular....

Wouldn't it be possible to pick an address on your own network (perhaps in 
your DMZ) and then create rules on any firewall in front of that address 
that simply drops all packets?

If a public address were announced, why not have an outbound firewall rule 
to drop the traffic?

I suppose this may not scale to major ISPs/backbone carriers however.
