I was just talking to a Cisco engineer, and he told me never to use the
first and last subnets of a /24. To be honest, I've _never_ heard anyone say
this before. Is this an accepted practise? It seems exceptionally wasteful,
but if there's a good reason, I suppose I'll be renumbering a bunch o' boxes.

TIA,

Rob
