I use similar in my Radius for one of the other nodes in Net640, in
conjunction with his dotted quad.  It goes like this...

3:640/999    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,CM,IBN[space]3:640/999,CM,IBN

That way, considering its other settings, Radius attempts connections via
either addressing methods for 10 tries then rests for an hour before trying
again.  It works out that each address is attempted 5 times an hour.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
