/32 for a single IP address. I think you can omit the /32 in this
case.

If you're doing more than one IP address, you need to look up how
subnet masks and CIDR notation work. e.g. here I'm listening to
X.Y.0.0/16, which covers 65,000 odd addresses. This used to be called
a class B network under the old scheme.

If you look up the subnet mask in your network config, it'll be
something like 255.255.0.0 - convert that to binary and count the
number of 1's, e.g.  11111111.11111111.00000000.0000000 - which gives
me a /16.

cheers,
 Jamie
