Excuse me, if you do this you will have 2 portmasters with overlapping IP
assignments and you will NOT have the minimum number of routes. If you
want even /27 assignments, you have to start the first at .0, otherwise
the first portmaster will have addresses .2 - .33 which will overlap with
the second portmaster. (It will not stop at 30 addresses but will
eventually assign the higher IP numbers as people logon and off, this is
just how the pool works) Besides, the first portmaster will have more
than one route assigned. I agree, that starting at .0 gives a host with
that address which "just doesn't feel right", and confuses some
routers/hosts.
