Matt the problem will also be some of 44 will be directly connected to the
Internet(not thur UCSD) if they have any route to the net the local DNS
could cause conflict or just a miss configured router. Just like a few
companies have had when using 1.X.x.x as a private LAN. It was Allocated
to the US DoD I think, but it looks to have been released now. A mis
configured router drew quite a bit of attention from them as you can
imagine. I still see 1.1.1.1 used a lot as an interrupt login page at
hotels, ect for free or pay Internet.
My understanding is that there may be some rouge direct connected
44 address ranges out there too. This is from a friend at a national
CATV/ISP provider.
I don't remember the specifics but prior to the policy Change by AMPR
regarding this allocation we found some of these in their AS. If memory
serves some were in VK. This is some thing we really need to run down....
With 16million addresses this is a hard task to police. I am guessing
that ISPs have whole groups that just deal with rouge networks in their IP
space. Just running a scan is not going to work as most ISPs will shut ya
down if you tried to scan a whole class A. It really needs to be looked at
in a AS. Not Brian's at UCSD as his will be correct.
