In every network (well, larger than a single subnet behind a firewall, that is) I've seen, where there were RFC1918 addresses routed on the inside, these things happened, although in v4-land. It is madness. It must stop. With v6, we can make it stop. So, SL must go away, for it is an invitation to madness. All things SL is claimed to solve are solveable with unique addresses too, as long as you've got enough of them. The rest is just simple (perhaps tedious) work that every operations-aware person I know of would prefer to madness. -- M�ns Nilsson http://vvv.besserwisser.org
