Would the list all go on one line or can/would it be like

client1 client2 client3 client4 client5 client6 \ <== note the backslash
client7 client8 client9

(this is for inclusion in the zfs set sharenfs= line)

In terms of ip address if there's more than one range in same net like
192.168.1.0/29 192.168.1.16/28 is the resulting line
-maproot=root -alldirs -network 192.168.1.0/29 -network 192.168.1.16/28
or just the one -network?

side question of general interest - how is it done when there are like
thousands of computers - I guess hosts would do it because it'd only need to be
on the server. I think. ? I guess unbound the same for this specific context (?)

I couldn't see exactly how from the handbook
