Well - Jesred supports CIDR and thus it supports Class B networks as well.
So you could use e.g. the following entry in your redirector.acl file:
137.154.0.0/16

16 says: the 16 leftmost contiguous significant bits of 137.154.0.0
denote your IP address prefix - Jesred will apply the redirect rules
to all IP addresses, which contain the specified prefix (i.e. which start
with 137.154.) ...

You can achieve the same for a class B network with squirm, but u have to
generate a list with all class B subnets you use - i.e.
137.154.0
137.154.1
...
137.154.255

The draw back in squirm is, that in worst case it has to lookup 256 entries
for a passed URL instead of 1 using 137.154.0.0/16 ...

Have fun,
Jens.

PS: Some more info about CIDR: e.g. RFC1517-1520,1817
