Is it wrong?? DHCP excluded addresses

Hi Guys,

What's your opinion on the following.
From the IE workbooks I've got in the habit of configuring something along
the following when doing DHCP stuff.
If you have a /24 bit pool and you want to only assign 10.1.64.100 via dhcp

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.64.*0* 10.1.64.99
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.64.101 10.1.64.*255*

Now technically you only need to do the following:

 ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.64.*1*10.1.64.99
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.64.101 10.1.64.*254*
**
But is the first wrong if there are aren't any statements saying you can't
do it in such a manner.

I think the first is okay, can you think of a reason that if using such a
method you are doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Si.
