Lookup table overview --> http://www.postfix.org/DATABASE_README.html
All Postfix lookup tables are specified as "type:table", where "type" is one
of the database types described under "Postfix lookup table types" at the
end of this document ...
cidr
A table that associates values with Classless Inter-Domain Routing
(CIDR) patterns. The table format is described in cidr_table(5).

That really didn't answer my question. I guess I need to be more specific:
Is the CIDR file a plain text flat file? Do I need to run any commands
against it to do the binary conversions or is that something Postfix
does automatically on the fly?
I'm a bit confused because I'm "coming from" using a hashed db file.
The documentation doesn't state what the actual file type of a CIDR file
is, it just says it's not in dbm or db format:
The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
These tables are usually in dbm or db format. Alterna-
tively, lookup tables can be specified in CIDR (Classless
Inter-Domain Routing) form.
I.e., can I just edit my access file, converting the dotted doubles,
triples, and quads to CIDR slash notation, and use it as my CIDR file?
