First, thanks to everyone that replied.  I tried using 0xffffffff and it 
works without complaint but if I use 255.255.255.255 netmask a traceroute to 
the virtual domain will fail.  The traceroute will time-out at the last hop 
before the virtual host machine.

Is there a way to fix that?  I would like traceroutes to work.  Obviously 
they are not necessary for a successful implementation but they are 
important nonetheless.
