[c-nsp] Weird PIX problem

[Jason Lixfeld]

Not much information to go on from your original message, but making  
some assumptions:  In almost all cases, you'd have to also change the  
netmask on any other devices on that lan segment, then check/ 
reconfigure route redistribution, etc, or else the behavior you  
experienced would be par for the course.  Although I think the  
statics weren't actually broken.  I think the problem was that  
nothing could reach the statics because of the incorrect netmask  
relative to the hosts forwarding the traffic to said statics.
