There is a hash of IP #s that point to a client. If two clients have
the same IP # then one will mask the other. A client is just an identifing
string.
It does not really matter to me how the IP are displayed. I may make it
selectable. I do think that if IP #s are displayed as HEX there must be a
standard. As all IP #s are displayed in net order now. It would be hard
to have nfs's in host order is /proc/net stays in net order.
I do hope that the output will be compatable with the xtab file.
