Indeed, as you said, filtering correctly (= ICMP unreachable, so clients
can fail over quickly [if HE is not in use]) is hard.

We still run our own relay, so do not filter today.  Mostly because I 
know it works and (since it's our relay) I can rely on it to not break
things for people - and haven't had time to change that to "filter".
