HP has been doing that for years... http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-manning-dsua-01.txt reads: As a side note, at least one vendor has hijacked an address range for use by its printservers. That range is 192.0.0.0/24 and the specific address that they use is 192.0.0.192/32. This is not a valid delegation to this vendor and its use argues for reconstitution of this service into the link-local range or configurable with site delegated space. and % dig -x 192.0.0.192 ; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> -x ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; 192.0.0.192.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN ;; ANSWER SECTION: 192.0.0.192.in-addr.arpa. 17h42m33s IN PTR 192.0.0.0-is-used-for-printservices-discovery----illegally.iana.net. ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: 0.0.192.in-addr.arpa. 17h42m33s IN NS NS.ISI.EDU. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: NS.ISI.EDU. 17h41m55s IN A 128.9.128.127 ;; Total query time: 108 msec ;; FROM: infidel.boolean.net to SERVER: default -- 127.0.0.1 ;; WHEN: Thu Jan 27 17:53:24 2000 ;; MSG SIZE sent: 42 rcvd: 183 ---- Kurt D.
