But you *can* use those addresses.  If you want to make policy not to, 
then that is fine, but sysconfig need not know.  Otherwise, just put in a 
comment.  Hmm.  How many machines for the classroom?  Why not put
ed1 203.67.189.128 netmask 255.255.255.128?  You don't have to keep the 
netmask the same for all subnets any more; that went out years ago.
