   Uh????  1/8 is an allocated network now.  It would be bad form to be 
pumping traffic toward their network as if it were a garbage pile or 
/dev/null.   Please be a good net citizen and pump black hole traffic 
toward a non-routable address like one from RFC1918 or a non-existant host 
on your own LAN.

   Here was IANA's announcement of the 1/8 address space:

Subject: 1/8 and 27/8 allocated to APNIC

Hi,
The IANA IPv4 registry has been updated to reflect the allocation
of two /8 IPv4 blocks to APNIC in January 2010: 1/8 and
27/8. You can find the IANA IPv4 registry at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.txt

Please update your filters as appropriate.
The IANA free pool contains 24 unallocated unicast IPv4 /8s.
