Description

In wicket/RSS config we only provide the ability to specify a single address lot block for infrastructure IPs. This means for non-contiguous address sets, the resulting block is misleading. We should make it so that multiple disjoint blocks can be specified.

Research direction

Start by locating the Wicket/RSS configuration code that defines the infrastructure IP address lot block. Trace how that block is represented and consumed, then determine the existing configuration validation and tests. Done means non-contiguous infrastructure address sets can be specified as multiple disjoint blocks without producing a misleading combined block.
