The value of an IP address is the ability to receive packets from elsewhere addressed to it. Without a presence in a routing table someplace, that doesn't happen so the IP address is of no value. Better give it back so someone else who can instill it with exactly that value in that case...
I have an IP block that is not in the global routing table, but present only in some IXes and private peerings, and it is a feature. This is not mine invention, there is a lot of that blocks. Hint: see the number of prefixes in the "full-view" taken from different parts of the Net. It will be slightly different. -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)
