On sites that I run, my filter rules -start- with:

deny <my networks> any
deny <multicast and above> any
deny 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
deny 0.0.0.0   0.255.255.255 any
deny <1597 nets> any

The idea is that you want to block off all source addresses that you should
never expect to see.  127 is a favorite of mine, because a lot of people have
localhost in their hosts.equiv files.
