do you want these ip's automatically assigned?

any pc can speak to any other pc configured with an ip in the same range
so any user can just change their ip to another on a different subnet to
become part of that

pretty useless... really

if you want to block one subnet access from something, better to use a
firewall

changing the subnet is kinda like changing the workgroup name on windows
