This feature would entail creation of IP ranges as first class objects. An IP range is an arbitrary contiguous range of IP addresses contained within a single subnet, not constrained by any bit boundaries. Users would then be presented with a list of ranges, either in addition to or instead of subnets, when registering a machine. This would allow machines to be kept within IP ranges that do not necessarily correspond directly to subnets, such as for IP filtering or QoS purposes.
This feature is already in use at WPI, and would require porting to the upstream code base.
