you could use the feature Philip explained to get just that:
- create a file containing the networks, only doubled, like
10.0.0.1: 10.0.0.1
10.1.1.0/24: 10.1.0/24
(easy to do with a tiny script)
- use net-lsearch on this file
- after a match you have the matched data in $host_data, which is just
the matched network
