I was assuming you would configure it to know what local addresses are rather 
then expecting it to work them out.  So many sites use sub-netting and run 
several sub-nets on one ethernet (we do), that determining the "local" 
addresses is non trivial.  A list of networks/netmasks together with a list of 
router MAC addresses should be sufficient.
