Hi Andy,

The easyest way would be to specify it on the command line:
-a 10.1.1.162/32,10.1.1.163/32,10.1.1.164/32..(and so on)..10.1.1.183/32
You can specify up to 255 networks or hosts.

I personally would prefer a better way to handle the -a 'networks'
Like
-a 10.1.1.160-10.1.1.183
 or
-a 10.1.1.160/27,!10.1.1.183,!10.1.1.182,!10.1.1.181.....(and so on)
But implementing a filter like that is a bit more work.

I see it as a lot more simple to just specify it as -a 10.1.1.160/32
then have the perl-script that processes the prads-asset.log filter
out the IPs you really want.

We have been talking about it several times, but not yet seen a
solution that we are comfortable with.

Best regards,
Edward
