Description

When nesting an alias within a network alias, the default "/32" causes it to fail. You can manually change the cidr size to be empty and it works, but it would be nice to ignore that when nesting aliases.

Eg. this fails:

        <alias>
            <name>TestAlias</name>
            <address>64.187.64.40</address>
            <descr><![CDATA[Test Alias]]></descr>
            <type>host</type>
            <detail>Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:18:28 -0600</detail>
        </alias>
        <alias>
            <name>TestNestedAlias</name>
            <address>TestAlias/32 64.187.65.178/32</address>
            <descr><![CDATA[This alias nests another alias]]></descr>
            <type>network</type>
            <detail>Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:22:09 -0600||Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:22:09 -0600</detail>
        </alias>

And shows this in rules.debug:

table <TestAlias> {   64.187.64.40 } 
TestAlias = "<TestAlias>" 
table <TestNestedAlias> {   64.187.65.178/32 } 
TestNestedAlias = "<TestNestedAlias>"

While this works:

                <alias>
                        <name>TestAlias</name>
                        <address>64.187.64.40</address>
                        <descr><![CDATA[Test Alias]]></descr>
                        <type>host</type>
                        <detail>Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:18:28 -0600</detail>
                </alias>
                <alias>
                        <name>TestNestedAlias</name>
                        <address>TestAlias 64.187.65.178</address>
                        <descr><![CDATA[This alias nests another alias]]></descr>
                        <type>network</type>
                        <detail>Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:22:09 -0600||Entry added Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:22:09 -0600</detail>
                </alias>

And rules.debug has:

table <TestAlias> {   64.187.64.40 } 
TestAlias = "<TestAlias>" 
table <TestNestedAlias> {    64.187.64.40  64.187.65.178 } 
TestNestedAlias = "<TestNestedAlias>"
