I'll probably put in some of your requests/recommendations, thanks, all good stuff. One specific comment springs to mind: > 5.1.

Indeed it is meaningless BUT several of our test programs use the server address as "someone to talk to" so it's worth IMHO having it settable in static configurations. Eg. ftp test, tftp test, ping tests and the like expect the "server" to be a nice freindly chap. So I'm definitely leaving it in, but with more comment to that effect... - Huge
