address match list syntaxs

[George Young]

Thank you for your responses - I was hoping there was a wild card type
option, kinda of like using the $GENERATE statement in the zone files. This
is an ongoing problem here with all these subnets. Addresses are assigned in
blocks (usually contiguous) to the various divisions. For this particular
problem I will make use of the CIDR concept. Giving my math skills this is
going to be challenging.

Will I be able to get the check-net program to either run on Win32 or RedHat
7.1?

Thank all for your help - George

<Scratch that; 1+4+8+16+1 != 31.  Here's what I should have written:
<
<    161.241.51/24;
<    161.241.52/22;    # covers 52-55 (3rd octet divisible by 4)
<    161.241.56/21;    # covers 56-63 (3rd octet divisible by 8)
<    161.241.64/20;    # covers 64-79 (3rd octet divisible by 16)
<    161.241.80/23;    # covers 80-81 (3rd octet divisible by 2)
