Just a note. If I remember right, from a discussion on an italian mailing-list about networking, the bits in a netmask should be contiguous but it is not strictly required. So the /24 part means nothing if you have not contiguous bits in the mask.
Please no flames, this is only a thing to think about: I may be wrong of course.
Ciao, Riccardo.
