I use this on all our single-homed customer lines (static routes pointing
to them), and it's great. Best thing since "clear ip b soft in" :)

It has no adverse side effects, and it stops your customers from spoofing
foreign IP addresses without the need for you to maintain access lists.

It should be mandatory for all ISPs out there - will stop most DoS attacks
with forged source IPs cold in the water.
