I've gone further than this and limited the RP-to-group mappings to
only those ASM blocks that are allocated by IANA:

External RP:

224.0.1.0/24
224.0.2.0/23
224.0.4.0/22
224.0.8.0/21
224.0.16.0/20
224.0.32.0/19
224.0.64.0/18
224.0.128.0/17
224.2.0.0/16
233.0.0.0/8

Internal RP:

229.55.150.208/32
239.0.0.0/8
