[8.920][GRIPE ;-)] Network definition 'Advanced' needs explanation.

Anyone that reads this will chuckle because this issue, binding definitions to interfaces, is my pet peeve, the bête noire of my time spent on the User BB...

There's plenty of room to add a simple warning: Attention - incorrect use of this option causes routing problems:


That may not be the best, but something pithy that alerts the admin to the fact that this option is not for neophytes!

If I had my druthers, I would add a context-sensitive help here labeled More information and that would include a full explanation, including the limited cases for use of the option. The help also would have suggestions for alternatives; for example, for creating an 'Additional Address' and then using the "Interface [Additional] (Address)" object created by WebAdmin instead of a Host definition bound to an interface.

Cheers - Bob
