Alias for ip range…
- 
 How can I create an alias for the ip range 192.168.20.50 … 192.168.21.250 ? Or isn't this possible..? cheers hank

 You could use the net type and use subnet notation to create one. IE: 192.168.1.0/24 would be 192.168.1.1-254 
- 
 Btw, if you can't capture all IPs in networkranges and some single IPs are left add them to the same networks alias as /32 subnets ;) 
- 
 Address ranges are not necesarilly representable with CIDR, like f eks: i like to block 192.168.1.100-200 but that can't be "created" with a CIDR range. or am i wrong here and need to read upon CIDR ranges?

 @mastrboy: i like to block 192.168.1.100-200 download & unzip this: http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0401/att-3032/cidr_range.pl.gz then, % perl cidr_range.pl 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.200 returns: 192.168.1.100/30 
 192.168.1.104/29
 192.168.1.112/28
 192.168.1.128/26
 192.168.1.192/29
 192.168.1.200/32then, add those CIDR ranges to a Network alias. hth.

 blokking .100 till .20 with submask's blokking 192.168.1.100/29 gives .100 till .103 
 blokking 192.168.1.104/29 gives .104 till .111
 blokking 192.168.1.112/28 gives .112 till 127
 blokking 192.168.1.128/26 gives .128 till .191
 blokking 192.168.1.192/29 gives .192 till .199
 blokking 192.168.1.200/32 gives .200

 thanks Tenzen, great tool to have :) (but still a little annoying to have so many aliases that could have been merged into one :-\ ) edit: se below post ;)

 Thats kinda spiffy. Would be nice if we had a CIDR lookup tool based on this type of thing. mastrboy: you mean multiple aliases, not rules, eh? because you just plug all of these into an alias and then reference the alias inside your firewall rule (1 rule required, 1 alias with multiple entries).
