Presumably they're double-natting. I had to do that once for Y2K
compliance for three large governmental networks that were all statically
addressed in net-10 and wouldn't/couldn't renumber in time. In fact,
there were _specific hosts_ which had the same IP address, and _had to
talk to each other_. Gross. But it can be done.
Please explain how. I simply can't imagine my computer communicating
with another one with exactly same ip address - the packet would never
leave it. The only way I see to achieve this is to have dns resolver
on the fly convert remote addresses from same network into some other
network and then NAT from those other addresses.
