In Unix we're just returning the first address from gethostbyname().

There have been complaints about this from people with multi-homed or 
improperly set up machines.

A FAQ is "how can I get my machine's IP address?" and the standard 
answer is, of course, that your machine doesn't have *an* IP address.
