Since your using private address space, why not use a full /24 at each site?
192.168.10.1-254 at site A, 192.168.11.1-254 at site B. This allows for
future growth and makes things a helluva lot easier then dealing with
subnetting.


Cheers,
Eric

That would be fine.  You might want to tie them to smaller subnets if it
would give you more flexibility in the future:


192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 (/27) would give you .0-.31 and

192.168.10.96 netmask 255.255.255.24 would give you .96 - .127
