One of the companies we work with has 192.168 address for some of the
radius servers we have to talk to, we are directly connected to them so
it's not a big pain but it's just so ugly.

That makes perfect sense to me...there is not a better way to protect a box
from a DOS/hack than to only give it a private address.   Why expose a box
to the outside world if there is not a need???
