I would like to avoid going to the low-level modules -- I guess I was hoping
for something along the lines of urllib or urllib2 that would have already
have this exposed.  Perhaps I can hack one of them.  It looks to me as
though I could at least hard-code the addresses into my code, then pass them
to a hacked urllib that uses them instead of the localhost and thishost
methods.  Of course, hard-coding the addresses would be very ugly and
non-portable.

Any further thoughts out there?
