Nikolai Lusan <nikolai at humbug.org.au> moved upon the face of the 'Net and spake thusly:

Don't do that.

Using 10.x.x/24 confuses pre-CIDR IP implementations, and breaks many
mouldy protocols (such as RIPv1 and BOOTP) that make assumptions about
IP address classes.

If you must use RFC1918 private address ranges, use the proper
C-class range from that document (RTFRFC).
