I ran into the same problem awhile back, I would guess at 100 or 128
elements and the list looked like:

only_from	=3D 1.2.3.4 10.1.1.0/24 172.16.32.0/22 ....

You can do something like this:

only_from       =3D 1.2.3.4
only_from      +=3D 10.1.1.0/24
only_from      +=3D 172.16.32.0/22
and so on...

I have about 180 IP addresses or ranges in an xinetd implementation I'm
running and it works fine.

Hope this helps.
