CIDR - networking

[Kihara Muriithi]

Hi all,
  A am curious about the usage of CIRD on hosts (Not on the routers).
I have always found that all the hosts I have used have been
configured with the old class system. This is definitely different on
the routers, but have anyone seen a network/DHCP server configured to
dish out CIDR IPs? Would it be healthy to intermix the old class
system and CIRD on a small network?

Thank you a lot
