No. RFC1918 / ULA are merely "unroutable on The Internet" (as in, they
cannot be directly accessed from the public internet). You can freely
route between them on "private" networks to your heart's content.
For example, I have the RFC1918 subnets
- 192.168.1.0/24, .2.0/24, .10.0/24, and .20.0/24 (LAN networks)
- 10.90.0.0/16 (VPN[1])
[1] way overkill, but lets me move around a bit in case a hotel is using
part of that range. (I only have the server hand out a /24 out of that
range, but the LAN's routing table uses the full /16).
