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. -Craig
