I was just wondering why type of setup everyone has at home. And what type of IP scheme everyone is using. I intend on using 172.16.1.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.1.0 for static ips 172.16.2.0 for servers 172.16.3.0 for dhcp. No i dont have that many clients but i want things to be separated. This is what i was thinking about doing. Using esxi i was going to create a DNS server, Share Drive/Media Server, and a print server The ips i was going to use were 172.16.2.1 for DNS 172.16.2.10 for the Share Drive/media server. 172.16.2.20 for torrent box on deluge raspberry pi. 172.16.2.30 for the print server or something like that. Questions: Does the DNS server support Dynamic DNS or should i use A program called Direct update? Any recommendations on servers i may want please let me know.
These are private IPs, you need to check if your Internet supports static or dynamic IPs for your connection.
As wisdomtool said all of the above are private IPs if you do not own them, you can use them. And you will need to ask permision from the internet provider to announce your IPs as well.
I use a 192.168.1.x network for "guest" access on my home network and 10.0.0.x for my test/prod/work stuff I have at home. If you're interested in using your public IP and router port forwarding to say have a external plex service. Then you may want to look into http://dyn.com/dns/ . They used to be free and I'm out of touch with the free services out there now. But $40 a year isn't bad. Personally I just check it every once in a while and use teamviewer for my remote box. So if it changes then I'll just whatismyip.com on my teamviewer box.

I use 10.x.x.x. My home network is on 10.0.0.0/24, 10.1.0.0/24 for my local Proxmox server running misc testing VMs. I also have remote servers running Proxmox and they all use a variation of the 10.x/8 - I try to differentiate so there are no boxes with duplicate IPs because I VPN into a lot of my machines. So one box might be 10.10 or 10.20 etc - so if I'm connected to it via VPN, I can push all those routes over the VPN and not run into any conflicts with the local network.
