It should be at least application based policy, since different applications will not work with 3041 addresses.br, John
like netscape. As a web browser, in its dialog to web servers, it may want
to benefit from 3041. As a Mail user agent, when talking to its SMTP server,
it may want not to use 3041 because the anti-spam rules might reject its
mail (no reverse path DNS records), when talking to a FTP server,it may
also be rejected for the same reason.
So a socket option seems to me the right way to toggle 3041 on and off.

ps: btw, in case of application level failure as described above,
should the app that was using 3041 retry with a regular address?
