You really are a glutton for punishment !

pool {
   range 192.168.1.64 192.168.1.110;
   range 192.168.1.112 192.168.1.253;
   allow members of "rule1";
}

pool {
   range 192.168.1.111;
   allow members of "rule1";
   allow members of "rule1-A";
}

I think you can see how that's going to get tricky to maintain if you 
try scaling it a lot.
