And using public IP spaces... really dumb outside a lab environment. I mean how hard is it to use 10.x.x.x for everything these days?
that depends, how hard is it to change your IPs when you merge with someone else who is already using the 10.x.x.x and you now need to deconflict things.
or how hard is it to setup a VPN to a business partner who's using 10.x.x.x internally and has conflicting addresses. Especially if the two servers that need to connect are both 10.1.1.1
Now, think about a company that's connecting to hundreds or thousands of businesses that all have "just use 10.x.x.x" as their policy.
that's where things get ugly and using publicly allocated addresses for internal stuff is attractive because it already de-dups the ranges.
