Just my 0.02 cents. > -- Jonathan There is no difference. An RFC1918 address is just as real as any other IP address as far as any IP stack or network is concerned. The difference is that we, as humans, have decided those addresses are not to cross certain boundaries, and it is up to us to make sure they don't. Except for my edge router, my other routers could care less that I'm using RFC1918 addresses and in fact they don't know any better. I could just as easily stick my 207.160.213 network, another "real" network, on there right alongside the 207.160.214 network (and I did, at one time) with no problems. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64 (Itanium), PowerPC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
