It is a problem that people want to use 10.0.0.0/8 for their own networks?

I'm not sure if anyone sets up nodes differently but I use NAT on every
node on the customer's wired or wireless connection so that their
equipment doesn't know/care about the internet network.  (I do actually
use 5.0.0.0/8 but I'm thinking that this is wrong as you have a valid
point about possible re-use of the 5 and 6 class A networks).

Is this the typical OLSRd node setup: -

  Internet
    NAT
     |
   NODE A
     10.0.0.1 ------------+
        |                 |
     10.0.0.2         10.0.0.3
      NODE B            NODE C
        |                 |
       NAT               NAT
     192.168.100.0/24    192.168.100.0/24

Where the 192.168.100.0/24 is the dhcp network presented to the customer's
equipment and the 10.0.0.0/8 is the internal network used for traffic
routing with OlSRd.

It wouldn't matter if the client uses their own 10.0.0.0/8 network would
it?  (maybe it would mess up traceroutes?)  It would matter if they had
their own local plans for 192.168.100.0/24 but this is like any typical
dsl or cable router that users come across.
