You can also define global host names in the usual way: <span class="tt">127.0.0.</span>

(but not <span class="tt">127.0.0</span>)

matches 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.255, and <span class="tt">.unice.fr</span>
9
(but not <span class="tt">unice.fr</span>) matches any host in the domain <em>unice.fr</em>.
