You're missing the point - you can't do this. In a properly configured
network, DHCP clients will never have a different mask from their
gateway. You can't give clients a /32 mask, their gateway IP would
then fall outside their subnet. You can't do a /30 without lots of
additional IPs on the firewall and a DHCP mess with numerous scopes.
If you need to isolate clients, you need to do it on your APs and/or
switches, there is no reasonable way to accomplish this on the
firewall.
