Thanks for this suggestion. It would work if there's a running instance of MinimServer on exactly one interface subnet when MinimWatch is started. It wouldn't work if MinimWatch is started with no MinimServer instances currently active, because MinimWatch wouldn't know which interface subnet to use for listening. It also wouldn't do the right thing if there are MinimServer instances running on more than one interface subnet, because it would always choose the first interface subnet that has a running MinimServer instance and ignore the other interface subnets.

The simplest solution would be for ohNet to add support that allows a single MinimWatch process to listen on multiple interfaces, but I think that's unlikely to happen.

Another option is for the MinimWatch process to start proxy listener subprocesses for all available subnets. This would handle all cases correctly, but it would require quite a bit of work to implement the necessary interprocess communication and coordination.
