* william elan net:

For those doing similar exercise, you might want to look at rephrased 
version of rfc330 listed blocks:
 http://www.completewhois.com/iana-ipv4-specialuse.txt

You should move 192.88.99.0/24 from SPECIAL to YES (although you
shouldn't see source addresses from that prefix, no matter what the
folks at bit.nl think).  169.254.0.0/16 should be NO (otherwise it
wouldn't be link-local).


Good example as to why to use authoratative sources only. 
Completewhois is far from that. (it's a good effort though..
so thanks william).
