No. IPs are just numbers. Who cares what segment you use. The only reason you wouldn't want to use the first or last part of a subnet is if you have machines running very, very old software (like a Cisco router that won't do ip subnet-zero)
Just like HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00, as shipped. :-P At least patches are available. Other than that, we had no trouble making a transition to a subnet-zero network at my day job (one or two of every major UNIX variant on the market, along with three to four years worth of back-supported versions, and the major Win32 variants). (Network gear is all Cisco, and all up-to-date enough to deal with the layout, so I can't report anything regarding unusual network infrastructure.) -- Edward S.
