PPP port: Quick question about file_name_lookup function

Hi, I am currently hacking around the routing stuff in PPP by just allowing 
you to do "add default HISADDR", which makes the peer at the other end the 
gateway and no other routing entries can be made or removed (at least not 
until there is sufficient support in libc0.2). I am attempting to use 
file_name_lookup and then fsys_set_options to do this. When I supply the node 
name is it safe to hard code  "/servers/socket/2" as the node name? Can 
pfinet be set to a different node and operate properly? I just want to know 
if I should make this more flexible and not just assume the pfinet is set on 
this node? As far as I know it is always set on "/servers/socket/2", but if 
anyone has any info to dispute this please let me know otherwise I am going 
to do file_name_lookup on "/servers/socket/2". I think I may add a check to 
ensure that it is a tunnel interface also.
