Allow your program to bind to an address that doesn’t exist yet.

This is so cool:

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_nonlocal_bind
Set this if you want your applications to be able to bind to an address which doesn’t belong to a device on your system. This can be useful when your machine is on a non-permanent (or even dynamic) link, so your services are able to start up and bind to a specific address when your link is down.
