Thanks, but it turned out it wasn't that...

It turns out that not only do you need the DefaultAddress option, you
also need to specify 
SocketBindTight                 on

It's like saying 
"Use this IP address"
"No, Seriously! Use this effing IP Address!"

Weird!

If someone eventually manages to bag a B-2,
that's a cool US$1bn worth of scrap metal
- missiles, on the other hand, are cheap.
