Well, in theory. Try it with a machine with 2 non-loop interfaces (i.e. fixed
eth* and ppp0 for dialup, or eth1 for cable/adsl/etc...) - maybe could have
a config question "which interface is your internet connection on?", and
redetect every time ./run.sh ? (make explicit setting of IP address something
you have to do by hand in the config file?)
