Nope, just curious as to what would would happen.  I kinda realised
that if your IP address goes away, you're going to have problems
maintaining connections.  :-)  I just wondered whether we would
negotiate another one, for use by new processes... But then, you'd
still have to restart all daemons... A reboot would be quicker.

I'm not sure what NT does under those circumstances.
