Blocking a whole network (/65) is totally undesirable and may even become i=
llegal.=0A=
=0A=
Currently it may not only happen at the target of the DDoS attack=2C but be=
 spread all over the internet where block lists are enforced.=0A=
=0A=
I don't expect that to happen and if it happens I'm surely in favor of prot=
ection against this type of 'solution' because it will block not only malic=
ious clients but potentially many other legitimate clients. 		 	   		  =
