So some "comments" on the intertubes claim that DoD ok'd use of it's unadvertized space on private networks. Is there any official reference that may support this statement that anyone of you have seen out
I disagree. I see it as an extra layer of security. If DOD had a network with address space 'X', obviously it's not advertised to the outside. It never interacts with public network. Having it duplicated on the outside world adds an extra layer of complexity to a hacker trying to access it. It's not a be-all/end-all, but it's a plus. A hacker who's partially in the network may try to access network 'X', but it routes to the outside world, tripping IDSs...
