One thing to watch for is things you may want to put on different subnets later for some reason. For example, I have two classes of machines on one C net. By reserver .127 and .128, and putting one class on .1-.126 and the other on .129-.254, splitting the subnet becomes trivial later. This also makes firewalls that distinguish between the two classes of machines simpler. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
