We had a MASSIVE dispute within our company about this. We bought
another company and they uses registered IPs on everything down to the
workstation. They claimed NAT caused problems with most programs and it
was just easier to use registered IPs.
We had a meeting with 3 different CCIE's that worked for Cisco and 2
security consulting firms and decided, although it would be nice to use
registered IPs, it was more efficient and secure to use private IPs. We
then tested the "apps that won't work with NAT" and found 99 percent of
them worked fine if the server and firewalls where configed correctly.
Don't get me wrong, NAT can and does have some minor downfalls but
overall, in my opinion, it's does its job.

Steve

Subject: Using Register IP Address on your Private network
I have a question here? Why would anyone use register addresses on
their
private network, while you can use UN-register addresses like 10.X.X.X ?
Do
you really need to burn register addresses on a private network?
I would like to hear anyone opinion on this subject
