Hello Ruben,

Thank you all for the help and feedback.

Yes! now we could make it work but the documentation could be made more 
explicit, in particular the fact that you add 2 to NETWORK_SIZE to determine 
the netmask. (see "RangedLeases::RangedLeases(...)")

Yes, that would be great. In particular the concrete proposal by Lars would be 
perfect for us.
