Ben, you are on topic here and the issue is that the design of
networks is sometimes left to looks and feels.  I know one consultant
that lives in Ft. Wayne that only uses a 10.0.0.0 network no mater
what size business it is.  I talk to people who from working with
people like this that select "vanity" IP addressing schemes that later
become an issue.  The issue is that the RFC states an idea and how to
get to this idea.  Each manufacturer and then the person setting up
have a responsibility to continue these ideas for interoperability.

Wow that was much easier than my first rant...

Andrew,

You can't say using a 10.0.0.0 network all the time is a bad thing because you 
didn't give enough information to make this determination? You didn't give a 
network mask. If he always uses 10.0.0.0/8 or 255.0.0.0 then this is a bad idea 
but if he is using CIDR complaint equipment with a 10.0.0.0/24 or 255.255.255.0 
mask or even possibly a larger mask creating a network small than a class C in 
private address space though doing this a whole different debate.

Thanks,
Ben
