er, right. as long as the customer in question never needs to talk
to whoever NAC reassigns the space to.

i had a customer once who had, for no reason they could
ever clearly explain, arbitrarily used ericson's IP space for
their own internal network. as long as they didn't need to talk
to ericson they were ok (yes, they used NAT at the border,
but we needed to see their internal IP address space, which
made for some serious annoyance.)
