My first reaction was that RFC 2317 was not intended for /24's.  But
darned if it wouldn't work, and would solve the parent/child consistency
problem I mentioned in my last response.  The problem it raises, of
course, is that not everybody understands what they're seeing when they
look at RFC-2317 configurations.  But if those who need to, do, this is
not a problem.
