I was just doing the programming to allow another class C address
for use by our Web server and was wondering: just how is having
some 250 addresses on an ethernet interface going to affect my
machine? Could this be related to the transfer speed problem I
described in a previous message?  Is there a better way to say "I
want to accept packets for every address in a given class C
address"?
