Yeah it could be worse - You could have a nationwide ISP allocating space out of 192.168/24 or 10/8 for their VPN solution.
Your point being... ?? That APNIC will allocate unique address space for unconnected networks?
Nope - Not my point at all. I do not disagree with ISP's using rfc1918 addresses for this type of thing. In fact it is probabily one of the best ways of doing it (I would like to have the option of using my OWN numbers though). The issue that I was raising was similar to the one raised by others on the list. Whenever you have multiple organisations sharing a network that uses rfc1918 numbers, there is a chance that they will conflict with the ones that you are running already internally. If you have some say in which ones are allocated (like being able to see a list of availible ones) then the problem deminishes, but there is still likely to be an overlap somewhere. That was my point, nothing more, nothing less... It's not a bad solution I'd just like to see a bit more flexibility.
