I think you'd get lucky if your ISP has proxy servers; in a nat'd
networks, the hosts might not be able to access the ISP's dns servers,
but due to the proxy servers, dns lookups are done by the servers. So, I
think, as long as you access the web via proxies and you put domain
names
instead of IP numbers in your URL's, you can happily using the web as
usual even if you are in a legacy network (which has "illegal" IP
numbers, which I think it would be okay because it works and wouldn't
hurt anybody).
