[funsec] Any ideas?

[Richard Golodner]

	Robert said to me:

>" I'm sure if you ping the 10.10.167.40, you'll find that it's only a
couple hops away.

I am in Chicago now and using Visual Route's trial edition it tells me
10.10.167.40 can be found in Australia. Here is the trace:

 10.10.167.40  (unnamed)  (Private) Australia according to Visual Route's
location service
	I have not been able to confirm this. I do appreciate your help and
hope that this stimulates some more ideas as I am perplexed.

RFCs are not the law. You can break them. I use so-called
routable/non-private (although not allocated) addresses for my internal
network. ISPs route non-routable/private addresses. Specifically, they use
such addresses as part of their management network: they assign private
addresses in the 10.x.x.x space to routers, modems, etc.
