Here's the thing.  If the device is a router, it gets upstream (dhcp,
usually) from eth0 and should serve DHCP on eth1 to the LAN.  In that
case, you probably want Plinth to listen on eth1, but not on eth0.  If
the device is on your net but isn't your router, you want it to get
upstream connectivity from eth0 and you also want Plinth to listen on
eth0 (and maybe eth1 too) for connections from the LAN.

I haven't yet figured out how to detect where Plinth should listen.  I'd
appreciate input on this one.

Thanks!
