if_addrlist in AF_INET domain

[Steve Dyer]

I'm a little confused by the addition of lists of addresses for each network
interface in the 4.3BSD (beta) release.  Scanning the code leads me to believe
either that the implied functions (multihoming per i/f) aren't fully
implemented, or that I'm just misinterpreting this feature.

Could someone describe in a nutshell what additional capabilities
this change gives us, and how they might be exploited?

Thanks,
