Great. At last, the patches are in. Will they go into 1.2.12?
One possible addition:

This will fill server-toaddr with the address of the interface we're
receiving the packet from, and will send the next request there. The
question is: is this sensible? Will this be slower (due to filling in the
address) or possibly faster (less routing on the other end required).
