I'm sure if you submitted a patch, it would be accepted.  If its
useful to you, it is surely useful to others, just as long as it
doesn't change the current default behavior.

I submit that you'll probably want to support multiple addresses for
each session, specified as dotted quads (e.g. A.B.C.D) or in
address/mask format (e.g. A.B.C/24).
