[c-nsp] Cisco ASA 5512-X DHCP server pool size

[Chuck Church]

I was curious about this.  Just checked the 9.2 config guide, it says the
same thing.  Very odd.

That is a real bummer. We deploy firewalls at many enterprise clients and
this is the first one that required a Cisco firewall  and it is limited to a
/24 for their DHCP or they have to use an external DHCP server. Very odd
limitation for such an costly device considering even the $150 Mikrotiks can
do /8 DHCP pools.

Well, thanks for the links Mike.
