I _am_ excited about this indeed. Especially the "Emerging FW" combined
list sounds very interesting. Dropping bogon traffic is also a good
idea, as it prevents some hijacked BGP allocation stuff.

@Michael: Why do you have no use for this? Speaking about the mentioned
Emerging FW list, enabling it as a default sounds reasonable to me. Networks
listed there usually are so bad one even does not want to route or peer
to it (DROP = Don't route or peer). :-)

Could we enable the bogon list as a default for dial-up interfaces in
IPFire 3.x ?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
