Nope. If someone in that setting wants to have globally unique names, they need to do so by registering a globally unique domain name. If there's no requirement in these setups for globally unique names, they don't need to do that. For instance they could rely on unmanaged BonJour-style naming services.

BTW, my home LAN does not have a DHCP server or rfc1918 addresses.
