[Serusers] ser.cfg children=

[Evan Borgström]

	Yes, the nomenclature is pretty standard throughout SER when it is
expecting an address. *Most* places that accept some sort of socket or
address accept <proto>:<dev>:<port> where <dev> can be a hostname, ip
address or interface. For instance:

  modparam("nathelper", "force_socket", "eth0")
