I think I'd rate this one as "gross but technically not breaking any rules I suppose." (I couldn't find any at first glance, anyway.) On Fri, Dec 8, 2017 at 1:55 PM Ryan Hamel <Ryan.Hamel@quadranet.com> wrote:
Greetings,
A colleague of mine has static routed 172.16.0.0/32 to a usable IP address, to have a single known IP address be static routed to a regions closest server. While I understand the IP address does work (pings and what not), I don't feel this should be the proper IP address used, but something more feasible like a usable IP in a dedicated range (172.31.0.0/24 for example).
I would to hear everyone's thoughts on this, as this the first IP address in an RFC1918 range.
Thanks,
