If you can cover the end-users total intersection between the utility
network and their own with one or two prefixes instead of (for example
the 250 public/private prefixes in my split tunnels table) it seems like
a tractable problem. it's better if they're GUA,cause then you have some
strong assurance that they don't intersect.

I guess what I'd say is that while interconnection with private
inter-nets may well be classified as either a threat or a menace at your
convenience, it's not a new problem as surfaced by homenet and it's
probably not going away.
