Listening to your future plans, you might have A LOT of nodes later.
Why not switch to 10.0.0.0/16, and later you can reduce the bitmask as
more nodes come online, or you can also have multiple subnets within
10.0.0.0/8? There's no cost to using the private address allocation
with the greatest number of addresses, as far as I know.
