I worked for a company some time back that had an association with a
South African company who wanted to host some infrastructure in our data
centre, the network admin there wanted a specific configuration for
outbound source NAT from a certain host that would scroll through a list
of source NAT IP addresses (think a whole /24) for every connection
attempt, pretty sure it was for sending unsolicited emails, in any case
the association with that company didn't last and I took redundancy
after less than a year there.
