Greetings again. I have a DSL connection with 32 addresses. My 
ifconfig line in rc.conf looks like:
ifconfig_tx0="inet a.b.c.130  netmask 255.255.255.224"
defaultrouter="a.b.c.158"

This works fine. I am trying to configure dhcpd (from the ports 
collection). My config file says:

default-lease-time 86400;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.224;
option routers a.b.c.158;
option domain-name-servers a.b.c.130;
ddns-update-style none;

subnet a.b.c.158 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
         range a.b.c.150 a.b.c.157;
}

This gets the fatal startup error:

/etc/dhcpd.conf line 7: subnet a.b.c.158: bad subnet number/mask combination.
subnet a.b.c.158 netmask 255.255.255.224
                                      ^
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting

This is a valid subnet, and it works just fine for everything else. 
What is dhcpd wanting?
