Hello All , While I haven't seen any examples of this type of definition of a 'source net' around I am hoping we can do something like ... Not the formatting BUT the /24 &/or the netmask'ing . source net { udp( ip( 199.33.245.0/24, # or 199.33.245.0/255.255.255.0, ... 205.141.166.0/24 ) port(514) ); }; The structured formatting would also be kind cool , I come from a heavy backgroud in GateD , And much later JunOS .
