Re: RFC 1918

Public IP address allocation from ARIN is a totally different matter.   My point
is that filtering RFC 1918 addresses at your network's borders is the right
thing to do for a number of reasons.  IMHO using RFC 1918 addresses on your
backbone routers (or any other public device) for anything other than emergency
or truly temporary use is a recipe for disaster.  

My $0.02.
