I would be interested too. The project at the moment is to set up
essentially an on-demand WISP for disaster response on 3.5 GHz to serve
the Monterey Bay area. We will be colocating with one of the significant
ISPs here that has a high level site (I do microwave consulting for
them, they give me rack space and bandwidth.) We will eventually want a
fairly large DHCP pool for use in emergencies. The radios are readily
available. I specifically don't want to use NAT'ted private address
space because it should be clear that the network is only for traffic
that can be handled under the amateur radio rules. There will probably
be a trickle of everyday traffic too, remote receivers, linking, etc.
Perhaps we can designate some of the unused /24s for subnetted nodes and
leave the existing ones for individual IPs.

http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net I am puzzled that we want to assign 44-net
addresses one by one as shown
in amprhosts rather than as subnets. Perhaps there is a historical
reason for that. The routing table could get to be very large (we can hope!)
I
think the reason we started it that way was the sparse population of
addresses and the fact we coordinators didn't initially know any
better coupled with the geographical/topological distribution of IP
nodes where we couldn't really count on a node being in any specific
location within the net. Nodes had to determine their neighbors by
discovery and they were routed manually.
I didn't start subnetting until users wanted blocks of IP addresses
for specific purposes, like UHF vs VHF gateways, digipeaters, or
ARES/RACES. I wrote a paper on it but I don't know how widely it was
distributed or how well it was received.
