Well, there are some problems with doing this however. We don't want/can't have the entire /20 routed to just our main office. We have POP's all over the state that we will be sooner or later routing the addresses out to. The last block, being 66.170.79.255 would at that point be the broadcast -- but it won't even be routed to this router much longer, so it won't work. Any other ideas?
