- Only on a Class C. This is probably a Class B with subnetting -- the
- implication being a 6-bit primary address and a 10-bit subnet address.
- Note that 252 is the upper 6 bits set and the lower 2 bits not set. This
- could make some hardware puke, but it's not all that unusual a configuration;
- there will be a problem, however, with domain-based MX records -- I believe
- sendmail.mx expects it divisions to be on 8-bit boundries. Not a problem
- if a domain mail gateway is used.
