You are right but this approach had a bigger problem for us when we tried
it.  It solved the problem with the application, but broke kprop even
on systems that didn't have 2 network addapters.  Life is such fun when
all of the "real code" is located deep in libraries and you aren't left
much control of the problems.  We are looking into the first suggested
solution to see if that actual will fix our problem.
