Wrong. If you administer 100's or 1000s of machines you build or buy
a system for doing address management. Renumbering is only difficult
if your system is called vi :-)
Wrong ;) Well at least, up to 1000 is probably doable.
But what if you are talking about 100s or 1000s of organizations with
each a 100 or 1000 machines.
Organization/Management and actually finding out who is doing what in
such a big environment is the problem. (Of course the people who where
'managing' this network should have seen it coming sooner or later, but
they already left of course).
