snort.org IP address changes

[Ben Trufanow <btrufanow () mercurypay com>]

Hi All

The IP number for www.snort.org<http://www.snort.org> seems to flux, which I suspect is due to it being hosted by AWS.

Our network guys require an outbound ACL to permit our snort boxes to find their updates. This past March, when the 
updates were failing and based on what IP was assigned to that host at the time, I got the network people to put in 
23.21.248.121/32 (and also 207.171.160.0/19 based on prior change ticket mentioning that the /19 was also an Amazon 
range that was needed).  This basically worked until recently. Today I see 23.21.68.40 and the updates are again 
failing.

What is the best IP range to use in order to whitelist www.snort.org<http://www.snort.org> for successful updates?

Thanks! Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find any prior reference.
