Bug Description

The file /etc/firestarter/non-routebles contains a long list of IP blocks that are considered non-routable. Among these is 72.0.0.0/8, which is definitely legit, since my hosted box has such an IP.

While I have not checked, there might well be other address ranges incorrectly included in the non-routables file.

yeh i think IANA and friends eventually started handing out ips that were once considered drone blocks, this needs to go upstream.
