No such luck:

from inside:
> ping 172.20.18.55
PING 172.20.18.55 (172.20.18.55) 56(84) bytes of data.

from firewall:

PING 172.20.18.55 (172.20.18.55) from 203.x.x.x : 56(84) bytes of data.

172./ is a private address range which shouldn't be routed. It's also
not addressable as all the Paradise cable IPs are outside that range. I
didn't try nmap but the Paradise router at 203.x.x.1 should dump it.

Btw this traffic is not charged for, as you can drill right down to the
IP number for each connection, and no 172. numbers show up.
