What about a netmask of 255.255.0.0 and 192.168.x.y where:
x would range from 1-N (N being number of participants, assigned in
alphabetical order)
y would be 1-M (M being the number of machines a participant needed)
Disclaimer:
- this is off the top of my head
- you can see that designing networks isn't my day job
This is surely enough to get someone who really knows how to do it right
to respond! :-)
I know someone (Hal/Prateek?) already proposed DNS names, but I'll re-read
that after I post this.
Robert, whatever you end up with, Sun (provided we get confirmation
soon) will leverage as a template. Thanks for doing this.

Hey
folks - I'm lining up network access for the dry run.
I've
asked them to allow http, ftp, email, and VPN protocols through the firewall.Anything
else?
Other
network questions:
Do
we want a DHCP server set up for the local network?
What
about a DNS server? I would
think it would be easiest to just configure an etc/hosts file that we all
share, but I thought I'd ask. I'm
not sure I'll have time to configure a system for this here, so I would
probably need someone else to step up to the plate.
Regardless
of whether we want DHCP, I assume a bunch of the boxes will need static
addresses. We should agree on
ranges of address for each company to use. Someone
want to propose something?
