10.x.x.x is a non routeable Class A address inside the internet ( ie private
LAN use )

What happens if someone uses a proper address, say www.wantirna-ap1.net.au
which resolves to 10.10.128.1 by using the wireless.org.au box, but then
someone out on the net starts using that IP address for a real site.
Is that possible?


How do we work out where the DNS server goes?  If we use a DNS on
wireless.org.au for resolving real domains, and wireless domains, it means
people have to be connected to the internet at the time to resolve anything
on the wireless side. Am i on the right track there?
So these people would have to change their DNS to one on the wireless
network when they aren't dialed into the internet so they can resolve
wireless network addresses.

Would it be best to get volunteers with 24/7 internet connections to run
DNS servers for each region that allow people to resolve wireless network
domains and also internet domains?
