I see this a lot and sometimes when they are posed with the Return On
Investment (ROI) for the amount of time that needs to be spent to change the
IP scheme for discreet, non-routable subnets they will be convinced that it
is not important enough. The thing is, due to the nature of the situation
the only reason they should force the change is to make the network look
nice on a spreadsheet... This is non-routable and so does not impact the
rest of their network unless you end up with some kind of conflict. If
they're trying to get you out of their space to keep from having conflicts
down the road then they could just take the Class C you are using
(considering they're going to have around 16,387,064 IP addresses). They
should be able to carve out 254 for you (or less if you only have a few
nodes on your SAN).
