Looks to me like someone decided to break the route to 34060-34069 up
into pieces with "common high-order bits set" akin to w.x.y.z/bits for
IP addresses.  It's much easier to do mask-and-compare than to see if
something is "between" two values.

	34060-34063 == 0x850c - 0x850f  mask 0xfffc
	34064-34067 == 0x8510 - 0x8513  mask 0xfffc
	34068-34069 == 0x8514 - 0x8515  mask 0xfffe
