Whats to say they already use such private addresses for internal network,
and use the public ip's on the companies firewall and DMZ for services that
relate to doing business on the internet and publishing pages on ones
webserver etc.
Still is a pain in the arse with this situation also, doesn't mean they are
not already doing what you suggest.
Just my 2 cents worth.
