I agree.  The internet works because responsibilities are delegated
in a precise, hierarchical manner and wouldn't have a chance if
every machine guessed at an address that might work.  And if anyone
is listening that might fix this, please also add a straightforward
way to control the source address used for outbound connections when
a machine is given multiple addresses on the same subnet for virtual
hosting.
