I'd guess said hardware would also likely have issues with 240/4 space being instead. I believe we can narrow the problem with RFC 1918 addresses down to "same or overlapping prefix on the outside as inside", rather than assuming that any use of 1918 space on the outside interface is detrimental. Does anybody know of any evidence to the contrary? Vendor default allocations of RFC1918 to "broadband router" LAN interfaces are limited to nets 10 and 192.168. Does anybody know of any evidence to the contrary? Therefore, point out a /15 from 172.16.0.0/12 and be done with it. The few conflicts arising will fall in two classes: a/ People who have knowingly changed their LAN prefix. b/ Organisations large enough to use _all_ of RFC 1918 inside. "a" means they can change again. Problem solved. "b" means that they are large enough to be able to buy public external addresses, if they do not already posess swamp space. Problem solved. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Now I understand the meaning of "THE MOD SQUAD"!
