multiple IP address to a Interface.
 
With Windows NT/2000/XP, there is no limit for the maximum amount of
registry value data as long as your memory can handle it. The max size of a
value name in W2k is 260ANSI chars or 16,383 Unicode chars. Microsoft
recommends that long values over 2,048 bytes should be stored in a file on
the hard drive and just called from the registry when needed. Finally, no
key can contain data greater than 64KB.

Including the separating and trailing nulls in REG_MULTI_SZ values, it might
be 8,191 - 2,047 range if my Calc knows the math :o)
