I think it would be wise to allow for more than a single address per node:

* Many people will want more than one machine at their location.

* We need to allow for unique numbering of interfaces on a given bit of
node hardware.

I might wind up with two separate point-to-point links on different
hardware interfaces (WNICs), each link needing at least a /30 worth of
address space (network, local IP, remote IP, broadcast).

I'll probably also want another range to provide local access with say an
AP and an ommni.

It doesn't hurt to talk about this stuff now, but at the moment we don't
have ANY working, permanent links (to my knowledge).

Build network, people!
