Thanks, that's a good point. Yes, it is certainly possible to not have a known 
promiscuous mode, and also of course in the case of a pcap conversion the 
interface is not known.

We're discussing the best approach to handling this; whether to have specified 
'unspecified' values, or specify that, since all config items in C-DNS are 
optional, values should only be present if definitely known.
