Not quite sure why you'd want to use 24/8. It became a normal address block a very long time ago . RFC3330 sez: 24.0.0.0/8 - This block was allocated in early 1996 for use in provisioning IP service over cable television systems. Although the IANA initially was involved in making assignments to cable operators, this responsibility was transferred to American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) in May 2001. Addresses within this block are assigned in the normal manner and should be treated as such. So, it's just regular IP address space, available for assignment if you live in ARIN-land.
