No. It has some advantages for administration, esp. if you have more than two
subnets hanging off a file server, like

141.241.104.36 myhost-104 myhost
141.241.160.36 myhost-160 myhost
141.241.189.36 myhost-189 myhost

but it definitively runs (tested with sun3, sun4 from 3.5 to 4.1.3) otherwise.
E.g. if you use the loer number to indicate the subnet a two-footet Sun routes
to :

>141.241.104.160 myhost-104 myhost
>141.241.160.104 myhost-160 myhost
