Interesting. I can't remember ever seeing 192.168.1.1/32 used. In my my part of the world, it's only meaningful as a degenerate form: all the syntaxes I've seen which accept the IP/NN notation also accept just IP to mean IP/32, so writing IP/32 is just more verbose and half-confusing (makes you wonder why the guy bothered to add /32). :-) Stefan
