I was consulting for a financial services firm in the late '90s that was ac=
quired by a large east-coast bank; the bank's brilliant scheme was to renum=
ber all new acquisitions *out* of RFC1918 space and into (at the time) bogo=
n space. =20
If I recall, some of the arguments were "they were too big to fit into RFC1=
918 space" and by having all of their divisions in non-RFC1918 space it wou=
ld make it easier for them to acquire new companies who used RFC1918 space =
internally.
I wonder what they're doing now...
