	I don't have much experience with routed either.  I do agree in
	"specific" situations, setting both netmasks to /24 could be a
	problem.

	I have used /32 within the same network, but I binded it to the
	loopback interface and used arp (pub).  That might solve your
	problems.  I've also run gated without problems with this type of
	setup.
