OK. Just seems odd to have a /27 and ensure everything is configured to
that so 192.168.1.31 is recognised as a broadcast, not host, address
instead of the more normal 192.168.1.255. 192.168.1.0/24 would still
allow restricting the DHCP server to a subset of the /8 hosts, and
192.168.{2,3...}.0/24 is available if you need other networks instead of
192.168.1.{32,64...}/27.
Cheers, Ralph.
