Most private networks start at the bottom and work up: 192.168.0.X++, 10.0.0.X++, etc. This makes any internetworking (ptp, vpn, etc.) ridiculously difficult. I've seen a lot of hack jobs using NAT to get around this. Ugly.
Well, you can always do what one of the companies I work with does: allocate from 42.0.0.0/8 for networks that might need to interoperate with 1918 space and hope that it is "forever" before we run so low on IPv4 space that 42.0.0.0/8 needs to be taken out of reserved status.
How many more weeks is "forever" now?
Personally, I'd like to see such numbers put on a list for ICANN to give priority to in their next RIR distribution. Owen
