      Version 2.2. I have an alias set up for our SIP providers. One provider in particular added a /23 range of IPs. I have it added but it's still blocking some of them. When I try to add that range by just specifying the IP range in a host alias instead of a network one, I get a lot of errors when I hit apply. When I look at the alias that is created after the apply, not all of the addresses are added.

      So how do I make it work with the network alias? It's set to be a /23, but still blocks some of the addresses in that range.

        I've never seen a problem with adding /23 networks in aliases. Why not try adding the two /24's individually?

          Why don't you post the "lot of errors" so that someone could investigate instead of wild guessing?
