Yes, but a lot of people are actually using the 10.X.X.X net for real
networks, and most of them have them subnetted. IMHO, it's best to
use LINKLOCAL (169.254/16) addresses, so as not to conflict with existing
network topologies, and to quickly identify which machines can't (or
aren't authorized to) talk to the DHCP server.
