Couldn't you just expose those networks via non-overlapping blocks? Surely the entire private space wasn't spoken for.

- Plasmoid 3y agoWe'd have to do private bi-directional NAT44. NAT is expensive to run and is one of those things that always breaks. It could work but it basically just makes permanent tech debt that will frustrate maintenance forever. It also only really works when it's a 1:1 scale, as you add more networks the configuration grows with N^2.
- justsomehnguy 3y ago> expose those networks via non-overlapping blocks For this to work you need to expose the services to those non-overlapping blocks, ie write DNS views and associated shenanigans. At this point you are half-way to IPv6, so why bother with implementing NAT44 at all?
