Such apps are damned to be confused anyway, think for instance of a
private network. So not worth considering.

Correctly designed apps just try to connect whenever they see a chance,
and report the connection failure if any. Anything more clever is doomed
to fail in some of the zillions possible network configurations out
there.

Note that I am *not* talking about NetworkManager here, but about
network apps.
