When setting up a new FBSD box and LAN environment behind it, 
what are the rules or standards for selecting the IP address 
numbering scheme. I have read unrelated documentation that calls
this the internal IP address scheme or private IP address. 
The mandatory requirement is that these IP numbers will never
be seen by the out side world. That being said, I take it that
I can use any IP address numbers I want. 

Thanks

Joe
