I think you got explanations on the why. Now it should still be possible to subnet the way you want I think. While I would never recommend it, think routing should go with the most significant mask for a given address. So if you subnet: 1) x.x.x.0/26 2) x.x.x.192/26 3) x.x.x.0/24 you should be able to do the trick. An address in the range 0-63 will match both mask 1) and 3) but mask 1) is most significant (more bits, higer value) so the packet will be routed to subnet 1). Same thing for a packet in the range 192-255, with subnet 2) and 3), it will be router to subnet 2). And a packet in the range 64-191 will only match the subnet 3) so it will go to the subnet 3). IF I AM NOT WRONG, this should work, but it is definitely nasty. If you absolutely need 2 subnets of 64 addresses and one of 128, doing: 1) x.x.x.0/26 2) x.x.x.64/26 3) x.x.x.128/25 is nicer and will result in the ranges 0-64, 64-127 and 128-255.
