well, just in-case anyone finds this interesting....
I was basing my blocking list based on the information here;
http://bgp.he.net/AS2906#_prefixes
I've subsequently found that this list was incomplete.
The URL below is more complete and allows calling form a script and even shows the blocks which the individual ranges are grouped into;
http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=AS2906&view=2.0
so as I was in the mood for a bit of linux scripting I came up with (after having to brush up on gawk!). It essentially parses the web page and extracts out the IP blocks. What is interesting is that none of the geo unblockers seem to be documenting this exact range of 10 IP blocks. (I can only find reference to 7) - so it's probably just a little Netflix reorg to throw the casual user off target.
take it or leave it -and info like this isn't rocket science so its pointless keeping it underground IMHO.

now that translates to a nice network block that I wack into my blocking list;
<code>
address-group NetflixAS2906 {
address 23.246.0.0/18
address 37.77.184.0/21

}

I notice that these subnets are slightly different to those provided by dns4me.
So I intend to use a union of them all. However, I don't understand why there is a discrepancy between what your link provides and dns4me.
Just to illuminate my ignorance, would you be able to explain why there is this discrepancy?
Cheers
I tried these, both on their own and with matching them up with the DNS4ME ones, and Netflix didn't work. I removed them and went back to the DNS4ME ones and it still doesn't work. Have Netflix made another change to cull more users?
Anyone with a working US Netflix via DNS4ME?
