[AusNOG] Reminder to fix 1.1.1.0 IP block

[Skeeve Stevens]

Anything can actually be 'private' address space... just depends on whether
you want to talk to that end IP range if it gets routed.

To be upfront, we use a non-RFC1918 for our internal network - something
unrouted, that hopefully stays that way... but even if it doesn't, it isn't
a huge drama to renumber or just not talk to them.  An ever growing amount
of our traffic is v6 now anyhows.
