Okay... trying to access 10.10.10.1.. Oops..
The first example is okay if its "deny icmp" instead of "deny
ip". That still allows traffic to reach those hosts, just doesn't let
ICMP through.
Although 255 is a valid IP address, its use is, in my view,
limited. Denying ICMP packets to those hosts may be considered an
acceptable sacrafice by many.
