I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I've never experienced a problem with an IP address ending in 0, and I've been using them for over 10 years. Our primary VPN end-point used to end in .0 - so we had lots of opportunity to find chance for breakage. :-)

I have, actually. Most of our networks were /23s, and the syslog server was a .0 in the middle of one. An SMS sending appliance we bought would not accept IPs ending in .0. Fortunately, the check was client-side in javascript, and once overridden, everything worked.

IIRC, IPs ending in .0 or .255 were unreachable from some older Windows systems.

That's been my experience too. Even in 2003, the network I was involved in was handing out .0s out of larger CIDR blocks in DHCP leases with no issues.
