More ways to abuse your network stack (the computer equivalent of ants
and a magifying glass): set the IF address to the broadcast address
(makes SunOS queasy).  Abuses of multicast are left as an excersize to
the reader. 

ObDNS: further results: StunOS can live with and resolv hosts with only
the broadcast address listed in resolv.conf! (though what happens if
multiple nameds are running I don't know). AS225 B2R5 can resolve
nothing.

 Software) to put a price on my head...]
