pseudo-host with multiple ip's

[Subhendu Ghosh]

I would put a single IP (either end of the unused space) as the host 
address and add the rest as services.

notify on recovery is good - and long interval between checks - 12 hours 
or the like if you don't expect to see many allocations..


OR  make app the unused IPs as service checks on a core router host using 
negate and check_ping.  - This would react more as a unkown host just 
entered my domain...
