+1

(note I have not fiddled with nodewatcher yet)

What I'd wanted here was a dump of all the addresses on the node. (I
have cases where I have 15 or more ipv4, ipv6 addresses on a given
node... so far)

In the process of topo discovery by walking every announced by babel
address on the network. (followon for me is then automagically
configuring mrtg and smokeping)

figuring out a retracted address is straightforward, I think.
