anyone have a good link on using the pix global pool ?

here's the scenario
pix using a global pool spanning multiple subnets.
such as (example)
real addresses actually used

global (outside) 1 172.16.1.1-172.16.10.253
global (outside) 1 172.16.10.254

problem is that .0 and .255 addresses get used in the pool.
not a big problem it seems 99% of the time.
but m$soft seems to be blocking classfull network and broadcast addresses from
their web servers.
ie when someone
gets a .0 or .255 from the pool they can't get to m$soft.

is there a way i can exclude network (and broadcast)
addresses from the global pool ?
i think i remember reading that you can supply a network and mask in the
global pool
instead of listing as a flat pool of addresses
 but i can't seem to find it.
