[Met_help] MASK_GRID and MASK_POLY

Hello John:
Sorry to bother you again.
I am confused about the MASK_GRID and MASK_POLY.
I interpolated my WRF-ARW output with Mercator grids to lat/lon projection. It almost cover the original domain, which is not one of those NCEP's pre-defined grids.
When I run MET, should I defining a new masking grid in MET and recompiling? How to add a new grid set?
Cannot I just define "MASK_POLY"?
