 I'm not opposed to make it runtime configurable, but it should not be the
 default, as it is a realy evil hack. I don't understand which wildcard
 address you mean.
 
 Does the problem you see only happen after a crash? If so, I might be talked
 into making it the default untill the first session is established.
 
 If not, it would be better to understand what happened and why it was
 necessary in your case. It certainly is not needed in any sane setup
 (which of course includes the DSL providers part and typically is outside
 your controll.)
