In message <199603172018.VAA21057@gvr.win.tue.nl> you write: >But to just make checks like `if the interface >has another ip address within the same subnet with a netmask != 0xffffffff >then return that other netmask' is a gross hack :-( Well, to use a mechanism that was originally intended to allow for multiple subnets on the same interface to instead give yourself several addresses on the same subnet is also a gross hack. Need gross hacks to support gross hacks, or a new cleanly architected mechanism for multiple IP addresses on the same subnet. Bill
