Which shouldn't be too hard, really: all you have to do is create a little machinery in the kernel to allow you to send designated packets out an interface you choose while IP has not yet been configured for that interface. IPv6 will make this much, much easier, since any Ethernet-connected host will be able to invent a locally-valid address on the fly. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
