Actually now that you mention it I did similar things in a former life as a
sysadmin... I'd written a kernel module for network
quotas<http://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/branches/patch-o-matic-ng/linux-2.6.11/quota/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_quota.c>and
some of the sites had overlapping subnets for admin vs student
machines.

So we'll leave it there for now in case someone wants to conduct similar
(virtual) evil.
