It's never a good idea to use "real" addresses unless you own them, as<br>
you pointed out there are enough cases of misconfigured routers in the<br>
world to make even RFC-1918 addresses subject to problems.<br>
<br>
Of course, if you are careful, there is nothing to prevent your using<br>
such addresses without problems, but assuming that nobody will route<br>
RFC-1918 addresses is not a safe assumption.<br>
