I love war stories.  I once got chewed out by a colleague <?> from
another organization because we were using "their" address space.

We were using 10.0.0.0/8.  Explanation of NAT and RFC1918 was met with
a deer in the headlights look.

I once had a customer who for some reason had all their printers on public
addresses they didn't own. Not advertising them outside, but internally
whenever a user browsed to a external site that happened to be one of the
addresses used, they would just receive a HP or Konica login page :)

They didn't mind though. No idea if they've changed it since.

I know that the University of Michigan utilize 1.2.3.4 for their captive
portal login/logout pages as recently as monday when I was on the medical
campus.

Dunno about cisco.

med.umich.edu seems to run their own stuff, separately from umich.edu,
and
quite badly.  I've complained about their setup repeatedly over the past
several years.  No traction.

Is it something about Medical Schools?

When we were first putting together the campus network, Surgery was
running a Token Ring (I thought "Vampire Tap" was a fitting item for
their inventory) running in Class D space as I recall.

Should we try again, jointly?  ;-)

Towards the end, there were people who insisted I must rout their net to
the Internets.

I declined.
