interfaces and uses its `interfaces` configuration option to select which to
ignore and which to use.
Eg, to use two interfaces, `eth0` a 230 MiB/s ethernet on port 7333 and `wifi0`
a 1 MB/s WiFi device:

Dummy Network Interface
Dummy network interface

Sometimes it is helpful to run an isolated group of several intercommunicating
**servald** instances on a single machine for testing purposes. To make this
possible, **servald** supports a *dummy* network interface.

A dummy interface is simply a regular file to which all instances append their
network packets. The file grows without limit. Each instance advances its own
