I asked Alfred to implement TUNSLMODE for a reason; I was working on some VPN software at the time. There are cases where you want a full sockaddr, not just the address family. The next-hop address is not necessarily the same as the destination address, if the interface is in broadcast mode (as opposed to ptp).
