I have got an open wifi system connected to that m0n0wall. Allot of people
connecting actually not even 500 but I never put it in that way, I just hit
a number.

I agree with what you said, about available xml options.
Now the question is. What it needs to have the option subnet mask. To assign
a subnet mask for clients that does not match the LAN subnet which in my
case , 
LAN : 10.10.0.0/16
Option subnet 255.255.255.255
 Is there checks on m0n0wall to make sure that clients get same subnet as
LAN?
Or it is in writing dhcp with php? I am not sure I understand the whole
idea, but I am trying,.

Thanks
Mohammed.

If you aren't sure what you're doing in the config file, you can screw up
your m0n0 install.

I'm not exactly sure why you're trying to hand out 1500 IP's,  but if you
want to play in the config file directly, maybe you should read the
instructions...

http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads/config.xml
http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-hiddenopts.html

the only valid xml options that are not already in the config file are:
dhcpd/(if)/gateway
dhcpd/(if)/domain
dhcpd/(if)/dnsserver
dhcpd/(if)/next-server
dhcpd/(if)/filename


however, you have not listed a <dhcpd><opt[x]><enable/> section at all.  If
you don't specify it, it won't hand out DHCP.  You also don't have an
<enable/> in <dhcpd><lan>.
