I don't quiet understand the idea, that the server has to
specify a number of interfaces and the client has to pick
the right address.  If the client tries all addresses in
turn, isn't there the danger that the wrong server get's
connected, if it has the same services available?

Do you think a name service would help for this problem?

Cheers and thanks in advance!
