Although this should work, I would recommend that before someone use either of these addresses (and in particular 10.0.0.0/24) please consider how many other networks with that address exist. Without getting into the whole renumbering argument again on nanog (#include <flame.h>), if you are able to choose a portion of 10/8 space with some amount of randomness you can reduce the potential for conflicts in those cases where two private networks need to merge. -- Eliot Lear [email protected] |
