Some colleagues and I are running into a bit of a problem. We've been using RFC 1918 Class A space but due to the way subnets have been allocated we are pondering the use of public IP space. As the network in question is strictly closed I don't anticipate any problems with this as the addresses would be unambiguous within our environment. I'm curious if anyone else is doing this.
I'd recommend against it, because even though the network is not connected to the Internet now you never know what the future holds. Even if it's never connected there are always things that seem to pop up and cause problems. Also, if you're address allocation policy has been so badly managed that you've run out of space in 10.0.0.0/8 adding more IPs to the pool isn't going to help for very long. -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair.
