That would be fine.  Notice that this is not unprecented with the
-[dDu46] options.  Also, the removeif option seems to match a somewhat
related need.

That would do the job but it seems "yucky".

There really 8 active interconnects.  Two of them may not be plumbed
(LLT) and the other six really need to be IPMP'd as well.  Oh, and
don't forget a few virtuals for cluster services, a loopback, and
dman.  Best to pipe output through less or have a nice sized
scrollback buffer.
