AFAIK, there's no facility to allocate IPs from a pool like this.
Your syntax is saying that you'll allow the client to be anyone
on 192.168.0.250/26, but you're going to suggest 192.168.0.250
every time.
Perhaps a new syntax is required:
set ifaddr 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.193-192.168.0.254
Any comments/suggestions ?
