Unless you have a huge net block, you probably don't want to use a sequence
like object anyway. You are going to want some way to reuse previous IP
addresses that have been released.
Having a table of usable IP addresses with a flag indicating which are in
use might be a practical solution for you if the block(s) of addresses
isn't too big.
