The problem that you run into with using someone else's address space is
that if you want to connect to a web site or other device in that
address space your internal addresses will over-ride getting to that
address space. For example if you are using 28.X.X.X for your internal
address space and you want to connect to a web-site like www.fred.com
and that address resolves to 28.5.23.2. The packets will be sent to the
internal address of 28.5.23.2 and not to the internet address of
28.5.23.2.
Now if this system will never be accessing the internet then you can use
any address you would like. You could allocate 0/1 for your use and not
have to worry about stepping on anyone's address space.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Using Public Addresses Internally
My company wants to use public addresses from the Class A range
internally. I
realize the danger if these routes got advertised on the Internet, but
is this
something that is considered acceptable if it is carefully done to
prevent the
risk of these routes being propagated out on the Public Internet? These
networks will be used to address equipment in a multitude of cellular
radio
base stations around the country and they will only be connected to our
network. There will central locations where users from the internet
could
access a database which will query these systems, but there will not be
a
direct internet connection. I would appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks,
