I'll be darned. I just turned on the logs and did a quick test and the
logging works fine. I can't believe I never knew that was there...
These logs could have helped me several times.
The database on one server was 21MB. I do a "--cleanup" once a day,
maybe I'll do that a bit more often. After the cleanup I just did it's
down to 6MB.
Your info on the IP addresses is excellent, thank you.
I have an additional mnet question for you though.
How would I actually know what the subnet is that is used for the host IP
address? It effectively could be anything, right? From a /8 to a /30.
Thanks Francis, you are a huge help!

'mnet' syntax : mnet=Network_Ip,Matching_Network_Mask,Glst_Network_Mask
So consider a mnet as two networks definitions :
Matching Network to apply this mnet entry : Network_Ip with mask
Matching_Network_Mask
Resulting Network after applying this mnet entry : Network_Ip with
Glst_Network_Mask
For this mnet rule "mnet=65.52.0.0,255.255.255.0,255.252.0.0" you get:
For any input ip from 65.52.0.x range ('matched' with 65.52.0.0 mask
255.255.255.0), apply the second mask to obtain the resulting ip that
will be entered in glst database so here
65.52.0.0 (65.52.0.x (original ip) masked with 255.252.0.0)
If where is NO other rule for 65.53 to 65.55 networks, this rule is =
just 'strange' but functionnal. If where is another active mnet using
65.53 to 65.55 networks like this = one
"65.54.0.0,255.255.255.0,255.252.0.0" the resulting ip will be =
65.52.0.0 too, 'mapping' from one network to another. If it's not the
same ip = owner, this could be a problem (bypass glst). The rule
mnet=3D65.52.0.0,255.255.255.0,255.255.0.0 will do exaclty the = same
think without this 'cross networks' problem. Except very rare cases, the
'Glst_Network_Mask' is at least same or = more 'restrictive' than the
'Matching_Network_Mask'
