Currently, you would need to add each of the xxx.xxx.001.*, xxx.xxx.002.*, etc subnets to the allowed-hosts file. The reason DH doesn't currently allow you to do massive wildcards is because it pre-allocates all of the ip addresses in the range in memory-- which for A & B subnets can be expensive. This speeds up comparisons when a failed login is detected. Otherwise, each time a failed login is detected DH would have to compare it against all possible wildcarded addresses which would be more expensive over time.
I believe I have a script lying around that can generate all of the entries for you. Let me know if you want it.
