NAME
       netmasks - DHCP server database

DESCRIPTION
       The  netmasks  file is employed by joind, the DHCP server, to inform it
       about any networks having non-standard subnet masks.  This file is only
       needed  on  those  platforms  which  don't provide a netmasks database,
       either as a text file or as an NIS map.	Each  network  whose  mask  is
       other  than  the	 standard A, B, or C mask should have an entry in this
       file.  Each entry has two fields: the network and the mask.   The  net‐
       work  may be written with or without zeros. See join.ipaddresses(4) for
       details.

       This file also supports variable subnetting.   If  each	subnetwork  is
       further	divided into subnetworks with a variable mask, the subnetworks
       can also appear on the LHS.

   FORMAT
       Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored.  Entries are sep‐
       arated  from  one  another by newlines.	Entries consist of two fields:
       the network number (expressed as an IP address), and the	 network  mask
       expressed as an IP address.
