I don't think you can specify the addresses. It looks at the interfaces and sends to the ones that can broadcast.
I have solved it with ipchains but then rwhod fills my /var/log/messages with lines like:
Nov 1 20:40:28 x rwhod[650]: sendto(192.168.0.1): Operation not permitted Nov 1 20:43:28 x rwhod[650]: sendto(192.168.0.1): Operation not permitted Nov 1 20:46:28 x rwhod[650]: sendto(192.168.0.1): Operation not permitted
It's a lot of messages...
So if you cant turn of broadcast why does ifconfig have an option that says it turns of broadcast.
[-]broadcast [addr] If the address argument is given, set the protocol broadcast address for this interface. Otherwise, set (or clear) the IFF_BROADCAST flag for the interface.
And rwhod looks at the IFF_BROADCAST flag.
