OK, well, I can think of a few ways to fix this:
1) Change tcpAddress so that it throws an exception if a private
address is used. (This would prevent using a private network and a
"gateway", however).
2) Change the code in StoreData so that it does a validity check on an
address before saving it to the datastore. If the address is bad,
it changes the address for use downstream to its own, and it stores
a null reference.
3) Change the code in Node so that if the address it's using isn't
valid, sets itself to transient and continues on its way.
Actually, probably a combo of 2) and 3) is the best thing.
