My earlier comments may have been unclear -- i second (third) the above, but still believe it is foolish / naive to think, when building or deploying a network / system that it will never need to talk to the Internet and that its addresses will never leak. > Allow me to configure the internal network of each platform (of a given > model, let's say) the same way exactly.

But if folk claim that X network will never leak onto the 'net because no-one will ever connect it I'm going to go off again on one of my fun little rants...
