It's quite simple.
You're using public IPs in your internal networks.
Some of these IPs may exist and have an owner an maybe even a web site.
You'll be in trouble in the day you wish to acess one of these IPs
on the internet because you won't reach them because you have them
on your network and so won't route the packets to the internet.
In other words, the RFC addresses are specifically for use in internal
networks, since they are guaranteed not to be used on the public internet, and
not routed to by any public internet router.
"should not" be publically routed, there are itiots out there in the
world, one can't fix stupid.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
