For no particular reason, I decided to provide ad blocking to everyone on the network I'm managing. I added a few fake entries to the DNS proxy on the router for the most common ad providers.
Does anyone know of a valid IP that will instantly come back as unreachable? I'd prefer to use something else than 127.0.0.1 as the IP. My router won't accept 0.0.0.0. I'm wondering if I could simply use one of the TEST-NET-1 addresses and add a "reject" rule for it to the firewall.

Yeah, so I ended up adding an ICMP port unreachable reject rule to the router's firewall for 192.0.2.0/24 (TEST-NET-1) and making the DNS proxy reply with that whenever an ad domain is queried.
