This task depends upon

Can you give a little more detail? are you talking about in the scrollable "map" or the actual list of subnets associated with the block?

I vaguely remember a bug I had here but I thought I had it fixed awhile back :)

When you click on Blocks on the home page then chose a subnet block from your list it displays the work_space: Display Block page. From this page you are presented with the Block Map. If you scroll through the block map all subnets are shown for the classfull network starting from the first subnet entered in the block range. For example if you entered 10.64.0.0 as the IP Block Start and 10.64.31.255 as the IP Block End and with the intention of utilizing a /19 CIDR mask for the supernet. If you scroll through the Block Map nets it will display all nets from 10.64.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.

This is actually by design.

The block map is simply a 10,000 foot aerial view of the subnet landscape (think google maps). When you select a block or subnet etc that is just simply providing a starting point (street address) that you want to look at. So as you stated, that start IP or subnet IP will be the first listed at the top of the box. As you scroll around , either up or down, it will just continue "going on forever".

There are many other things I would like to do with this code that is not super high on my priority list. One of them is to highlight only the portion of the map that is related to the block range you have chosen. This would help to indicate and provide more of the functionality you were expecting. Also there is a ton that could be done to make it faster and more efficient.
