You seemed dead set on not renumbering the networks, and moving to
IPv6 would not only be just that, but also be harder than just
renumbering IPv4-nets, so you answered that question for us already.
I was being ironic ;-)
I'm not sure that TLS would cause more problems than any other packets,
but as you point out, the exercise is bound to be full of pooh traps as
yet undiscovered. FTP should be interesting, for a start. But for most
things, why would swapping an IP address in the packet header cause any
kind of problem as long as it was done consistently?
Apparently Cisco routers manage to sort this all out as a matter of
course, which goes some way to explaining why they cost so much. There
are lots of corporate networks on 10.x.x.x, and I'm told this kind of
caper is used to sort them out when they collide. Paying for a Cisco VPN
could easily work out cheaper than reconfiguring a large corporate LAN,
but I don't have the budget for either. Unfortunately this goes beyond
my current knowledge of FreeBSD's networking layers so I may be busy for
some time.
