Thanks!

I saw that a long time ago but forget that it was there.

If I do this in reverse, is that a problem? I also noticed that the
addresses just "keep piling up" if you don't flush them out.

Ahhhh.... how does this last differ from:
ip addr add 127.0.0.0/8
?
Some other questions and/or notes:
* As I said, ip addr add adds *ANOTHER* address to the network IF.
* Given an IP address (say 172.16.99.99) and a netmask (255.255.0.0)
how do you plug these into 'ip'? I gather you can't, and must
translate to this: 172.16.99.99/16 ... If so, is there a way to do
this translation automatically?
* In some versions and OSes, it appears you must add a route for the
interfaces; I've always guessed that since Linux 2.2 this wasn't
necessary.
* How do you set the Ethernet address? Is this: ip link addr
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ?
