*nod*

I think the reason that network interfaces stopped being created was in 
preparation for MANY IPSec connections, enough so that creating network 
interfaces would just be a waste.  If I recall correctly the IPSec 
people were wanting and hoping to start seeing IPSec used arbitrarily 
any time that it could be used, including accessing web pages off of web 
servers.  In this case, creating and removing interfaces is just (IMHO) 
ridiculing.
