Yes, although many would consider it bad practice (I am an example),
because you´ll face trouble when you have to debug something, and have
non-routable IPs on some path.

Yes, but you should specify the netmask in 255.x.x.x-notation, route on
linux sometimes tends to get classful when facing /-notation...
