ifup-aliases - help needed

Hey all-
I'm trying to setup a class B IP range as Ethernet sub-interfaces using ifup-aliases on a RHEL4 server, but from what I can deduce from the included documentation and the scant information found in a Google search I can only input ranges with a 24-bit subnet mask. That is to say, I want to set up a file that looks like this:
 
IPADDR_START=172.16.1.4
IPADDR_END=172.16.6.254
CLONENUM=1
 
I receive an error that the addresses "don't agree". Can anyone confirm that I need to set up 6 separate config files as follows:
 
____ Config File 1____
IPADDR_START=172.16.1.4
IPADDR_END=172.16.1.254
CLONENUM=1
 
____ Config File 2____
IPADDR_START=172.16.2.1
IPADDR_END=172.16.2.254
CLONENUM=201
.
.
.
____ Config File 6____
IPADDR_START=172.16.6.254
IPADDR_END=172.16.6.254
CLONENUM=1218
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
-Jamie
