It was implemented some time ago, but I've had reports coming in over
the past couple of months that it doesn't work in the 4.2 test releases
that are out. I then asked if anyone was using it, because if not I'd
prefer to just rip it out instead of trying to fix it - and so far
noone has stepped forward to say they really need it.
So ... do you need it ? If people want it, I'd really rather implement
it quite differently than the old BB implementation - as a normal
network test associated with a host, e.g.
0.0.0.0 vpnpool.foo.com # iprange=172.16.1.1-172.16.1.100
