Great. Nevertheless, I miss a "subnet mask" parameter that might be necessary in a setup that spans multiple physical networks but does not use default subnet classing (A /8, B /16, C /24). You could construct cases that make booting fail. We would be safe against this by having an additional compile time parameter like "bitmask length", or a dotted-quad subnet mask, of course. Anselm |
