MAC Address range for Apache VCL

Is the a mac address range for Apache VCL?  How are the mac addresses managed for several VMware servers?  Does VMware manage them or is it a manual process that I must do?


I understand there is one for VMware:

Private MAC Address

NOTE: For VMware virtual machines, the MAC addresses you choose
must be in the range 00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF. Pay
special attention to the upper bound of this range.

Elwin,

VCL does not enforce what ranges of MAC addresses are used.  The addresses 
must be entered into VCL for each VM.  If you select to "add multiple" 
computers when adding them to VCL, you can enter a single MAC address, and it 
will sequentially generate 2 MAC addresses for each computer that is being 
added.

See the following page (note that it is updated for 2.4.2 as things changed  
since 2.3.2).
