If that is the case , we can expect to see a lot of brokeness since many
types of communication fails when the source address is not persistent. I
have had to troubleshoot many types of ipsec, pptp, and ssl vpns as well as
ssl websites like msft outlook webmail... they all have trouble when the
source is not persistent.

But... I thought I read that apple's solution was adaptive and persistent...
I may be wrong but this would be good to know for sure now, as it may make
troubleshoot much quicker later on.
