This presents potential problems (ppp :) since it presupposes that the 10.0.0.0/8 network is carried by each ISP's interior routing protocol which CLEAR for one is not able to do cleanly (10 is used for private CLEAR networks).
I think pretty much everyone has 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16 (or part thereof) in use somewhere on their networks. Generally though, I don't find 172.16.0.0/12 in use anywhere, so it is possible that could be used. (See rfc1918). That said, I think where possible, its worth going to some effort to prevent these private numbers from being used externally by an 'net connected organisation. I know a couple of people are currently using 192.168 number for router interfaces and its a bit of a pain sometimes. -Chris --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
