I've actually always wanted the ability to not bind specific protocols to specific interfaces, or better, bind them specifically as part of the configuration process. I.e., ifconfig lo0 bind inet ifconfig lo0 bind inet6 ifconfig fxp0 bind inet ifconfig fxp0 bind inet6 ifconfig ppp0 bind inet ... That and to seperate 'administrative up/down' from 'hardware up/down' better in our administrative tools.
