Bryan, it's been a long time since you asked that question, but the easiest way to do this in windows is via the host file at %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. If you're looking to do this network wide, it is easier to do via firewalls and other network devices.
As far as the intent of the discussion of this page. Moving this topic into "blackholing" is a mistake as it is as problematic as the over use of the word "black hole", which should IMHO be renamed community wide to DNS redirection as that is what is happening.
Providing this type of routing information within that context is absolutely inappropriate, and not where a technician should be looking if he is interested in DNS redirection. This is a way to drop unwanted packets at an administrator's requirement, really something that should be placed into routing if it belongs anyplace, or perhaps this whole discussion should be expanded to include other security techniques realated to routing. Like I said, IMHO. Guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allgoodguy ( talk • contribs)
route -p ADD 208.80.152.0 MASK 255.255.252.0 0.0.0.0 IF 1
route -p ADD 208.80.152.0 MASK 255.255.252.0 127.0.0 IF 1
route DELETE 208.80.152.0
That statement is probably true for IPv4 routers, but IPv6 introduced a "flow label" which can speedup processing in routers by introducing a "statefulness" of the routing decision for six seconds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.110.232 ( talk) 08:41, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
Article is missing information on uses of null routes other than for black-holing unwanted traffic. For example, if I have been assigned public IP addresses 203.0.113.1-203.0.113.254 and use them as a NAT pool on the WAN side of my router, I need to advertise 203.0.113.0/24 as a null route... but why? 2600:1003:B013:2700:0:6C:2615:8001 ( talk) 14:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
