No, you would give both sides a /32 address i.e. one side 10.0.0.1 and one
side 10.0.0.2, and you would additionally configure them with their
destination address. I don't know the particulars, again I believe this is
a new idea, but I don't believe they would necessarily need to be
consecutive (but again I could be wrong). I realize that in some cases
this wouldn't be the best idea, but this is a lab setting and also given
that this is the lab mailing list I don't think the usual question should
be "Why would I do this?" or "What is the best way to do this?" but given
the strange things we are tested on I think the proper question most times
is "This might seem kindof crazy, but how do I do this?"
