I doubt the roadblocks are anything serious in most cases; if all
you're doing is RFC1918 addressing, then source-routing on the
attacker's side can probably make your box theirs in short order. Most
people of this ilk I've encountered think so highly of RFC1918
addressing as a security measure that they blindly assume no other
precautions are necessary. I would hope that no-one on this list would
stoop to *that* level of stupidity. Presenting a "security by
obscurity" argument is bad enough.
