You cannot do this in XML Schema, because it doesn't have a mechanism to 
say that the content/type of one part of a document affects the 
content/type of another part.  (Often described as co-occurrence 
constraints, and not possible in XSD.)  There are other schema languages 
that let you do that kind of thing.  But even then you will have a problem 
because they typically only do regular-expression kinds of constraints, 
and doing that kind of validation with a set of regexps might not even be 
possible.

And then, finally, you almost definitely want CIDR not old-fashioned 
network classes anyway. :)
