I'm assuming your provider's network engineers (stupidly) assumed
123.x.x.x was a good idea for use in a private setup because it hadn't
been assigned from the global pool (yet).
Wouldn't be the first provider or service to not use proper RFC assigned
private IP space for their internal networking setup.
