I won't pretend to know ANYTHING about Solaris, even though I use it at work...
I'm still learning it.  However...  What's the netmask on the machines in
question, both the U5s and the E450?  That looks suspiciously like an inverted
netmask...

However, for an "all points broadcast", so to speak...  I think it should
probably end up as something like 255.255.255.255 or 0.0.0.0 -- I forget which
is all-hosts and which is all-routers.
