Hi Derek,

Thanks for the help :-)

Ok.  It's official.  Now I'm *really* confused.

I thought that a /32 limits signaling to that *single* IP.

And that a "/24" would allow "talk to each other from 1 to 255".

i.e.,

  /32 -> 1   address
  /29 -> 8   addresses
  /24 -> 256 addresses

no?

Geri :-)
