the only exception to what Chris is saying is if you have a strictly
internal network that by design should NEVER talk to the internet.

also note that never is a long time to be VERY sure before you go that
route.

For all the previously mentioned reasons, public vs. RCP1918
is a tough decision. However, whatever you end up doing, do
not, I repeat DO NOT use illegal address space - or address
space that does belong to someone (or no one) but not you.

You may laugh, and you may laugh hard at the thought of an
organization that would do such a boneheaded thing. But believe
it like you believe in gravity, it happens. And don't let anyone
tell you it's a good idea. If they do, send 'em my way; I've got
months worth of stories why you shouldn't do it.
