What reason could you possibly have to use non RFC 1918 space on a
closed network? It's very bad practice - unfortunately I do see it done
sometimes....

Really really LARGE scalability testing that needs more addresses than
RFC1918 gives you. In a closed lab. Yes, it is ugly.

Been there.

Sometimes ugly can not be avoided.
