RE: Beta 1.3b17 released

But I did try it under FreeBSD 6.4 
With ISC DHCP Server 3.0 
And I got 192.168.1.150/32 subnet with gateway 192.168.1.1
And it was working with no problem.
I know from the beginning that you cannot put different subnet than the
gateway's mask, but it seems, windows does not allow this, but it could be
assigned remotely via DHCP , 
Althout you can assign static route via DHCP ..

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.
