at the time I had a good reason for the request, but I can't remember now. LOL
i believe it had to do with concentrating my efforts on any particular maching to get an idea of active connection being made to it, which then could be used to set port rules, ip filtering, W.I.S.H, QoS, etc.. basically to make the log cleaner and easier to read without other connections showing up for the other machines.
Something that wouldn't be concidered a priority, but more of a cosmetic addition.
