Shorewall users - Sep 2003 - Updated rfc1918 - APNIC assignment from April 2003

Hi Tom et al,
 
Last night I found reference to updates of the IANA reserved ranges.
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space)  

As I am in Australia I was interested to see that during April 2003 APNIC
returned the 223.0.0.0/8 range to IANA and received the 60.0.0.0/8 range
instead.
 
Shorewall''s rfc1918 file does not currently reflect this change.  Tom
could
you please update the current version to correct this problem?
 
I had noticed that we were dropping some packets from our Australian name
servers and I had been unable to find a reason for why.  Hopefully this
change will sort things out.
 
cheers

There is a whole lot more IANA reserved ranges than the one you asked for
not in that file.
Just because IANA reserved them, doesn''t mean that they are updated in
RFC
1918.
Can you provide a link to an updated RFC 1918?
I think maybe the shorewall file is a bit misnamed. But anyway,
my rfc1918 file has this entry which may help you:

# The following are generated with the help of the Python program found at:
#
#       http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/contrib/iana_reserved/
#
# The program was contributed by Andy Wiggin

Reading that python script looks like it will update the list for you.
