From reading Martin's original requirements, it looks like it's mostly doable, with the exception of times when 2 machines are configured with the same IP address.
A worse problem might be when a box has its gateway machine configured to be the same address as another box has as its own IP (eg, home network 1 has 192.168.0.1 as gateway and 192.168.0.254 as a client, and home network 2 has 192.168.0.254 as a gateway).
A potential problem there is that a client from network 2 would request its gateway via ARP, and the client from network 1 would respond with its own address.
Chances are pretty slim, I guess.
Chris.
