172.0.0.0-172.15.255.255 was allocated on 2012-08-20 to AT&T Internet Services. Why shouldn't it work? RFC1918 space is 172.16/12, there's no overlap.
I know that, you know that. but 172.0.0.1 is a common typo of 127.0.01 And there are apparently a lot of people running around using 172.0.0.0/24 in examples, or erroneously saying it's part of a range reserved for private networks. https://www.google.com/search?q="172.0.0.0%2F24"+howto&ie=utf-8 So I would say they've come into posession of a rather undesirable piece of IP address real-estate, as it were. -- -Mysid
