I recently found RackTables and so far am very happy with the software. 
Unfortunately the organization I work for is a managed service provider so we 
have multiple IP subnets that overlap (some customers have the same IP ranges). 
Is there any way within RackTables to accommodate this? I realize we could do 
multiple instances of RackTables but that's not an option for us.


We need an idea explaining how "same" IP networks can co-exist and what 
happens, when you allocate an IP address to a server, for which there are multiple 
networks. Once there is someone with this understanding, may be, there will be someone 
with an implementation.

I hope I'm not muddying the waters here. We've run in to, if I understand correctly, a similar situation. 2 or more sites might use the same RFC1918 IP address ranges (EX: 10.1.0.0/24) for internal addressing...

For example, I might have cages at both site 'atlcolo' and 'nyccolo'. I have both sites in racktables. Both sites use 192.168.0.0/24 IP addresses (for sake of completeness, lets call this 'a result of less than perfect planning'). However, as I understand RackTables, we can only have one 192.168.0.0/24 block - what I need is 'nyc:192.168.0.0/24' and 'atl:192.168.0.0/24', for example.

Is this your type of situation Mike?
Does this make sense Dennis?
