Apologies for not responding sooner. This came to light with me on a forum where someone posted that they thought it strange that their MTA received an IP that is assigned to the DoD DNIC.
Where I work I have the opposite issue. They have a lot of public IPv4 space and only use it internally never be advertised to the internet. Something I have never agreed With doing.

One company looking to solve challenge with IPv6 and 6to4 and DNS. Also curious how wide-spread this is? Maybe just the kick in the butt for catching the elusive IPv6 unicorn? ~Richard > On Dec 17, 2017, at 3:30 PM, Robert Webb <[email protected]> wrote: > > Will anyone comment on the practice of large enterprises using non RFC1918 IP > space that other entities are assigned by ARIN for internal routing? > > Just curious as to how wide spread this might be.
