not smart. there is a legitimate space for keeping certain devices local
within a routing domain. Cisco, for example, as a list of servers with
names like wwwin.cisco.com and wwwin-eng.cisco.com, that are not
reachable from outside. I can do this using standard firewall techniques,
but site-local is a pretty attractive way to say "you simply can't get
there from here".
