servers, but either look the other way or do a lousy job of enforcing the
policy with ingress filtering.  I would not announce your intention to
violate the terms of service to the ISP unless you want to be disconnected
without refund/recourse.

FWIW, most consumer services a) don't want you wasting their bandwidth (they
are in the business of providing hungry consumers with commercial content)
and b) restrict servers to "protect" their subscribers from hackers and the
DOS, liability, etc. that comes from such activity.  Someday, the end user
as well as the negligent ISP will be sued for these hacking related losses.

Look for an ISP that encourages responsible use of servers (?)  Good luck.
