That reminds me. Can you add to the wish list that you have an 
alternative command line of
[server]
  ipaddress=(eth0)

or similar for those of us in the odd situation of wanting to put Xitami 
on a DHCP interface (where the IP address may vary considerably) but 
where you have 2 or 3 possible IP interfaces in the machine? I agree its 
a particulalry rare request but I just found a place where I wanted to 
do this. The easy workaround was to run an external script to determine 
the IP address of the relevant ethernet card and add it to defaults.cfg 
but it would be nice it I didn't have to go to the extra effort.
