IP based black list in Serverclass.conf does not work

Hi,
I am trying to push app based on IP subnet whitelist and blacklist, while whitelist subnets are working perfectly alright, whatever put with blacklist. is not working as expected, because I can see application is getting deployed to subnets in blacklist as well. Here is the configuration

===================================
[serverClass:PROD_IP_RANGE]
machineTypesFilter = windows-x64
blacklist.0 = ^10.50.100.\d+$
whitelist.0 = ^10.50.\d+.\d+$

[serverClass:PROD_IP_RANGE:app:TestApp]
restartSplunkWeb = 0
restartSplunkd = 1
stateOnClient = enabled

==============================

expected behaviour is TestApp should get deployed to all Windows hosts in 10.50.0.0/16 subnets except hosts in 10.50.100.0/24, but I can see app gets deployed to hosts in 10.50.100.0/24 subnet as well

The whitelist and blacklist attributes use patterns in their values rather than regular expressions. Try

blacklist.0 = 10.50.100.*
whitelist.0 = 10.50.*
