Rebeca,

Check the archives for messages announcing the CIDR kit; there will be
notes explaining the changes in detail. The kit will replace register.cgi,
admin.cgi, variables.pl, add subnet.pl and change subnet.dat.

All you have to do for your remote network is specify an address range
within that subnet that can be covered by another a smaller subnet. All
subnets are written in CIDR notation. The sample subnet.dat file should
look like:

# Fields followed by colons:
# 1. Subnet/mask length for registered clients
# 2. Location of subnet
# 3. Total number of leases from the subnet for registered clients
# 4. Subnet/mask length for unregistered clients if different,
# otherwise blank. Note, if you do not specify a different
# "subnet" for unregistered clients, active leases for this
# subnet (#1 above) will be counted as belonging to unregistered
# clients. You should specify a range for unknown clients in
# your dhcpd.conf file that be covered a subnet, no matter how
# small and regardless of whether it overlaps with the subnet
# for registered clients. A trailing colon is optional.
#
# e.g.
# 10.0.64.0/20:Engineering:425::
# 10.0.96.0/24:Sales:25:192.168.0.0/24:
# 10.0.128.0/24:Building 52:127:10.0.128.192/26:
#

I would never leave the 4th field blank, and in an upcoming new release
of this, it may not be, since not adding this will break some things in
the GUI.

If you are using overlapping subnets (as you intend to do), the key is
to set aside a range that is covered completely by a smaller subnet.

If you have trouble, let me know.
