This allows for future growth and makes things a helluva lot easier then dealing with subnetting.

You might want to tie them to smaller subnets if it would give you more flexibility in the future: 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 (/27) would give you .0-.31 and 192.168.10.96 netmask 255.255.255.24 would give you .96 - .127 KeS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
