in thread converting complex netrange to cidr notation

Another interesting variant of this problem would be to find the minimal set of IP's + netmasks that cover a given range... hmm, I think a Golf outing is coming on :)

update: Actually, I think these are equivalent problems, so never mind, probably.

    For a single range, the above solution is the minimal one even if you allow arbitrary masks (though I haven't rigorously proved that -- just supporting your suspicion). If you allow multiple ranges, then the problem gets much harder and it becomes possible for arbitrary masks to provide smaller solutions.
