I was quite impressed when I wanted to slide some PortMasters' pools "up"
two IP addresses...ComOS was able to do that on the fly, adding the new
addresses (easy) and ceasing to use the old addresses (harder...it either
walked the queue when it saw the change, or it validates addresses it
removes from the queue for use). [I was cowardly, and waited for a moment
when the two "retiring" addresses were not in use.]
