Why not use btree? The common operations are quite supported with that.
(Common operations being equality and subnet/CIDR matching, the latter
being a glorified less/greater than operation. If you are using non-
continous netmasks, you are already in a rather painful situation
networkwise and it will not get better in the database, so don't).
