Does that work? I wasn't aware that you could receive packets at
multiple addresses except by binding to the wildcard address.
Regardless, setting pktinfo on all UDP sockets is probably the simplest
solution to that half of the problem. I'm not sure if we want to log
the pktinfo-not-supported message for all addresses, though.
