I know that it used to be possible to set a devices default gateway to
equal it's own ip address and that caused it to do an ICMP request for
a route to any non-local addresses. I am not sure if that is IDRP, or
if a Windows PC will allow that. I am thinking DHCP sort of takes the
place of the primitive method I just described. Is there such a thing
as an IDRP client?
