Numbers n such that the digits of 1 to n concatenated in some order is possibly a palindrome.

The digits of each number are kept together. So for the first non-trivial case, the palindrome is the concatenation of the numbers 1..19 in some order. The center digit of the resulting palindrome must be a 0 because a count of the digits on the numbers 1..19 is {1, 12, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2}.
