It all comes down to "what do you mean by 'private network'" doesn't it? If you operate an IP network which is air-gapped from all other IP networks, which IP address you use is irrelevant. If that network interconnects with (only) a provider/customer using RFC 1918 space, you either have to coordinate with them, NAT, or use non-RFC 1918 space. If you run a network which should only communicate with others through a proxy/firewall/NAT device, how much does it matter what's on the inside? Of course, the risk of using IP addresses which are not uniquely assigned to you is that there will be an overlap somewhere. Whether the risk is greater inside or outside of RFC 1918, I leave for others to puzzle out (although it should be noted that organizational M&A activity makes hash of the best-laid IP address schema).

If you get an address reservation from a registry, then you could certainly use that space in a way that doesn't entail globally-reachable routing. In fact, IIRC one of the RFCs explicitly mentions this possibility in the event that overlapping private use address space usage makes interconnection between two networks otherwise unworkable. However, as everyone else had assumed you might be doing, "borrowing" unassigned or assigned-to-someone-else (for which all "unassigned" can eventually be expected to devolve into) is unwise. – S -----Original Message----- From: Trey Darley <trey(a)kingfisherops.com> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 07:48 To: nanog(a)nanog.org <nanog(a)nanog.org> Subject: Private use of non-RFC1918 IP space Hi, y'all - 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 be very interested in corresponding off-list with anyone who's in a similar position.

All Google Search Results: "This site may harm your computer."

This morning whilest Googling, I got a bunch of "Permission Denied" to "/interstitial?..." URLs on Google. Then all my search results got listed as "This site may harm your computer." Is Google broken, or is the functionality of listing sites as broken, broken? http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/423476/google-broken.gif Beckman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman(a)angryox.com http://www.angryox.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Post: Google: This Internet May Harm Your Computer: A glitch in a computer security program embedded deeply into Google's search engine briefly prevented users of the popular search engine from visiting any Web sites turned up in search results this morning. Instead, Google users were redirected to page that warned: "This site may harm your computer." ---also--- Update, 11:46 a.m.: Stopbadware.org, the consortium of industry and academia leaders that handles the database of sites Google lists as harmful, issued the following statement: "This morning, an apparent glitch at Google caused nearly every [update 11:44 am] search listing to carry the "Warning! This site may harm your computer" message. Users who attempted to click through the results saw the "interstitial" warning page that mentions the possibility of badware and refers people to StopBadware.org for more information. This led to a denial of service of our website, as millions of Google users attempted to visit our site for more information. We are working now to bring the site back up. We are also awaiting word from Google about what happened to cause the false warnings." ---full news link: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/01/google_this_internet_w… -aljuhani
