Ah, well, I did find that out, but I didnt' feel like doing that 254 times per
server, there must be an easier way ;-)

but isn't it much slower to read 254 small files than generating a range of 254
aliases out of 2 small files?

I think I'll see if I can expand the /etc/init.d/network so that if it finds a
range-file in /etc/config.d/network/ it adds those as an alias. 
First I'll have to find a little time :-(
