Damn It!!
I go through all the trouble to document systems with a Management interface and an Application interface. This is done so backups, admin access, monitoring, etc are done without affecting application traffic. I note specifically to networking that I need an IP on one zone's management network and an IP on one zone's application network. What do I get?

x.x.44.175 mgt
x.x.44.176 app
x.x.44.177 mgt
x.x.44.178 app
x.x.44.179 mgt
I actually created specific zone tags for each IP request. ZONE_APP, ZONE_MGT. So when networking looks at the request, they can see one is an Application network, one is a Management network. When I brought up the zone tags with one of the senior network guys, he didn't like them. "There are only 4 zones. Whether it's Application or Management is a training issue with our team."
My argument of course is that we're _still_ getting sequential IPs, all on the same bleeding network. Even _with_ unique zone tags I'm getting fucking sequential IPs.
Idiots. I'm surrounded by Idiots.
