I've only got three /24s, and I'm going to need at least 4 of them, assuming I split each of them into 8 /25s). One nice thing is if I use NAT I've got an enormous amount of address space to use for my private internal network. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
