Bo's referring to the line length limit for a EchoArea definition in
SQUISH.CFG, and it is indeed 512 characters.  Scott's answer to that was
supporting more than 1 line per area.

Of course 200 links is more than 20% of Zone 1 these days, so the real
answer is a distribution topology, not longer lines. ;)
