Closing this bug report as it will not happen any time soon.

We are discussing scenarios where tjener is hosted in a municipality  
data center and school servers are satellites to this main tjener.  
However, the local schoolnetwork will likely still be 10/8 (or 10/9,  
10/10, 10/11, etc.) and the school server (satellite will be at  
10.0.2.2). (The connection between municipality data center tjener and  
satellite tjener on the school network will likely be via a  
wireguard/openvpn connection and using some backbone network for LDAP  
sync etc.

Long story cut short, closing this bug report with tag "wontfix".
