_Do_ _not_ _do_ _this_
This will make your ZIP messages HUGE. You only need 1 cable range, not
65k. All those messages have to be processed by each mac host which is
wasted load.
The reason netatalk is rewriting your atalkd.conf, is that you already
have a router seeding the network. Netatalk will rewrite this file to
agree with what it finds already seeded. If you want to change your zone
information, you need to change it on ALL routers.
