	In our company we have decided to connect to the world wide
	internet.  Therefore I think we have to apply for a world
	wide unique IP address.
Quite right, otherwise you won't even get Internet access,
within or outside Europe.

	My problem is, if we get this IP address we don't want to
	change all our local IP addresses we are using now.
You have no other choice.

	But if we don't act this way then we have local IP addresses
	which are matching IP addresses on the internet.
That's why. You wouldn't be able to reach those external IP
addresses; and if you would manage to announce your internal
self-chosen IP addresses to the outside world, you would be
cut off by your network service provider the next minute.

	I think this problem should has been appeared before.
It sure did:
	I don't want to change 500 nodes.?
CERN had exactly the same problem a few years ago; they had
to change -and changed- the IP addresses of 2000+ hosts...
