My mistake, I thought Andy told me it was out of range but I must have
heard wrong. Anyhow 172.30 is kind of a hard thing to remember and
verbally convey. If people are butt hurt over it we can switch over, but
honestly I think having networks at 10.10, 10.20, 10.30 is going to be a
little easier to manage than 172.30.blah.

The only machines that we knew of which were still around and not
devoured by the rebuild are Minotaur and Pony.

Have you verified that this machine still physically exists?

Sounds like a pain, but if you want to implement it please by all means
go ahead. :)

This honestly isn't that big of a deal if it's only that one machine.

Actually I thought I had picked it setting up the network at 83c then
Andy yelled at me for picking it the next day. But it's been a while and
I don't remember.

I think we're set on switches. We tossed several older failing switches
with moving parts into the e-waste yesterday.
