I got good news or bad news, depending on the answer to this question:

What do hosts do when they are redirected via a "gateway" that is not
on their directly-connected net?

If hosts do the right thing, then most redirect pranksters won't get
very far.  In fact, it is hard to imagine what hosts could reasonably
do besides to ignore these bogograms (and maybe complain).
