I use similar in my Radius for one of the other nodes in Net640, in conjunction 
with his dotted quad.  It goes like this...

3:640/999    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,CM,IBN[space]3:640/999,CM,IBN

That way, considering its other settings, Radius attempts connections via 
either addressing methods for 10 tries then rests for an hour before trying 
again.  It works out that each address is attempted 5 times an hour.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
