NAT may be a good short term solution to the address depletion and scaling problems. This is because it requires very few changes and can be installed incrementally. NAT has several negative characteristics that make it inappropriate as a long term solution, and may make it inappropriate even as a short term solution. Only implementation and experimentation will determine its appropriateness.

I use 10.x.x.x addresses at home, though split into /24 networks in each vlan.

That seems overkill

Well again, I'm only using /24 chunks of it.

The main reason I went with it is that it's far faster for me to type "10.0.x.x" than to type "192.168.x.x", especially on the keypad.
