False Networks Numbers assignements don't fix the ip to use on the gateway. I personnaly use a ip in the 'middle' of our ip block and this is = correct. I too use another 'middle' ip for my smtp server. I just have to create a good PTR entry for it to pass aol and other = rdns checks ... Use of the first or last ip available in a block (except broadcasts) is = just a 'convention'.
