This sort of thing isn't implemented at this time; but we've discussed it a lot before. It would be an opt-in sort of thing, certainly not on by default, because it risks spamming the network quite heavily. While it would probably be done slightly differently than you suggest, I think the outcome would be the same. Somebody needs to come up with a suggested strawman implementation that we can beat about though. Note that for 802.1x, we apparently *can* autodetect what connection to use because there are some frames the switch transmits that we can pick up on. We'd still need arping or something for non-802.1X ethernet though.
