No.

Yes. Again--just like the PM...

When you want to have variable length subnet masks on different ports, we
will support that with the release of our OSPF enhancements--which contains
the VLSM stuff.
Now, let me understand clearly--you want your WAN routed interfaces to be
"assigned" an address? What is the application?

I'll let others do so...Hope this helps thus far.
