IP Range instead of CIDR

[Todd Caine]

I'm not aware of any IP range support with the new rwhois software but here's how I've been handling this issue.  

I've added an extra field to the rwhois output called "IP-Range" and when I have to represent a range of addresses that don't fall on CIDR bit boundaries I also add multiple IP-Network statements to the same record to represent all of the IP addresses in the range.

Auth-Area                     10.6.0.0/15
IP-Range                      10.7.1.98 - 10.7.1.124
IP-Network                    10.7.1.98/32
IP-Network                    10.7.1.99/32
IP-Network                    10.7.1.100/30
IP-Network                    10.7.1.104/29
IP-Network                    10.7.1.112/29
IP-Network                    10.7.1.120/30
IP-Network                    10.7.1.124/32
