Example 5.47. Determining the zone of an IP address
An IP address always belongs to the most specific zone. Suppose that `Zone A` includes the IP network `10.0.0.0/8` and `Zone B` includes the network `10.0.1.0/24`. In this case, a client machine with the `10.0.1.100/32` IP address belongs to both zones from an IP addressing point of view. But `Zone B` is more specific (in CIDR terms), so the client machine belongs to `Zone B` in Zorp.
