Re: classful routes redux

... which is why I specifically said "no intention to ever connect to, or communicates with nodes on, the global network". In which case overlaps in adressblocks are irrelevant, as are any mention of NAT and firewalls as there is no connection (direct or indirect) between the networks.

The only case that I am aware of where there is truly *NO* intention to ever connect to the global Internet is military networks. When I was referring to other internets I did not have military networks in mind. In every other case that I am aware of, the partcipants in the internet also maintain connectivity to the Internet via alternate paths. --Michael Dillon
