Thanks, that'll help.  I was looking for something like this in the manual.
It should be added.  ;-)

Split it up into two rules.  You're going to need one pass rule for the
hosts you don't care about, and an alert rule for the rest of $HOME_NET.
You can't have a rule with mixed logical operators, AFAIK (i.e., some hosts
negated, some not).

The section in the FAQ re: rule ordering might help with this:
