Hi,
I'm old and sometimes get confused. Why would one want to do something that is not
really very standard even if they could. I once used to do a lot of troubleshooting
for a group that never had time to standardise their network because it was "unique"
and therefore required all their time to manage it. It was "unique" because it was
not standardised.
Don't most big failures occur because we do something others wouldn't?
If so, why would you use no contiguous subnetmasks rather than blockout nicely what
you need? Is there a substitute for good design?
