ppp needs to plumb the interface, actually send and receive packets on the interface, and based on that packet exchange, determine what IP address(es) to configure. Yes, we could do the 0.0.0.0 hack, but that sends the message, "cut/paste our plumbing code, or use the 0.0.0.0 hack". I'm not sure how clustering uses the plumbed interface (working on finding this information out), but we don't want people to be faced with a choice between hack1 and hack2. --Sowmini
