Well.. the same thing is true for 2 companies that get merged and both have their 10/8 and 192.168/16 nets - then the router frobs get used. I've heard of one poor network engineer that had *5* 1:1 NATs separating one end of the company from the other. And of course, we all know that all RFC1918 users are conscientious about filtering at their border routers. "It's deja vu all over again" -- Yogi Berra
