Ah ok. I assumed it would work as in 2.17 of the README it is written:

| leafnode: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.42: ALLOW
| leafnode: 192.168.0.0/24: setenv NOSUBSCRIBE 1
| leafnode: ALL: DENY

I have changed the entry, and tadaa:
Oct  6 11:53:08 gunde leafnode[1181]: connect from 172.20.128.90 (172.20.128.90)
Oct  6 11:58:49 gunde leafnode[1190]: connect from 172.20.128.100 (172.20.128.100)
Oct  6 12:04:58 gunde leafnode[1216]: connect from 172.20.128.91 (172.20.128.91)

Thanks a lot!
