I was able to figure out a solution:  I've got access to the sockaddr_in for
each of the interfaces, so I can test sin_family to see if it contains
either the AF_INET or AF_INET6 flags.  If it's not AF_INET, I skip it.

The way Michael's code was written, it actualy made it pretty straightforward
to figure out.


Thanks,
Kyle
