Funny this discussion surfaced now - I got bitten by this recently. Was using .255 for NAT on a secondary firewall. When the primary failed over, parts of the Internet became unreachable...

With IPv4 address space running out, we'll probably inevitably have to start handing them out and then get our customers to complain to their bank etc. Regards, Mark. -- "Sheep are slow and tasty, and therefore must remain constantly alert." - Bruce Schneier, "Beyond Fear"
