Hi Shane!
Short answer:
When version 3 of the Database software was designed, one of the principles used was to not change user data as it was submitted. This included the transformation you defined.
Still a reasonable guideline, I'd say....
The easiest solution would be to convert the CIDR to ranges, as you suggest, so:
inetnum: 193.0.0.0/20
Would become:
***Warning: inetnum '193.0.0.0/20' converted to '193.0.0.0 - 193.0.7.255'
inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.7.255 . . .
If this makes sense, we'll include this change shortly.
Yes, please! [ and still: yes, please - even after reading your in-depth explanation... ] Regards, Wilfried.
