Hi David,

I'm not particularly picky with how it should work, but the most logical 
(to me) would be to change the connect() function from this:

connect(hostid, port, protocol)

To this:

connect(hostid, port, protocol, lhostid, lport)

I'm not sure if setting the local address makes sense, but setting the 
local port in a connect call would be ideal. Another option would be:

local socket = nmap.new_socket()
set_local_port(socket, 67)
connect(host, 68, 'udp')
...


That's a little uglier, in my mind, but it is sufficiently usable.

Thanks for looking into this!

Ron
