       unspeakable netmask horrors from @fanf on the internet-history mailing list, 15y ago, unearthed today in my memory:>  I toyed with using 0xffff0003 netmasks to split the /16 so that successive addresses could be routed to each of the four London reverse proxies in turn.> This worked in testing but I didn't deploy it because it broke my colleagues' brainshttps://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/internet-history/2010-October/001535.html

       @benc @fanf we have couple of 10k+ employee orgs in our Customer base for Cisco firewalls, that insist on using non-contiguous masks. No amount of "how about you finally simplify this" helps. We get TAC cases from them on a regular basis, as they get lost in their own network calculations. Unbelievable.
