The apps I create make extensive use of local networking.  Up until I got bit
by this, I simply was taking the first IP address returned as being my
target (with some other checks around it).  After a year, I finally paired a
bluetooth device with the iPad and found that simply taking the first IP
doesn't hold water.  When an active pairing is present, the first IP can
(and always is from what I've tested) a 169.254.x.x address, NOT the local
network address of the iDevice.

Many people may have already figured this out or known it, for me it was an
"oh crapp" moment :-)  So figured I'd share.
