The 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 networks are unregistered Class A addresses, and 
should never (NEVER) be advertised out on a public network. Network providers 
should have rules that disallow the propagation of 10. networks (as well as 
192.168.0.0 and 172.whatever networks).

That's not normal. That's not good. 10. networks should only be used as 
internal networks behind a firewall.
