No, you can't nest lists, as in
pass ... from { { 10.1.2.3, 10.2.3.4 }, { 10.3.4.5 } }
i.e. {} within {}.
I think a recent commit to -current makes that valid, but it's not in
any release yet, and I doubt there are any examples of it online yet.
If what you meant was building a macro defining a {} list based on other
macros (i.e. nesting macros, not nesting {} lists), see the thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=114842643500002&r=1&w=2
The syntax is hairy, and duplicating some literals might be the lesser
of two evils.
