It (in my opinion) makes no sense to use RFC2317 to delegate as I
indicated above.  As Patrick stated, it only makes sense for the <256
address situations.  

Multiple delegations are probably the best way to go...  A perl script
is probably the best bet to accomplish the creation of the
delegations...
