Dont know what his requirements are, but the ability to allow any client 
in the world to authenticate to my server with any one of X secrets, 
thereby allowing me to associate them to client Y as opposed to client Z 
    is very usefull wherever the IP address range describing the source 
of client Y and client Z might overlap.

The ip address range in question need not actually be 0/0.....

This allows me to have specific configurations for this client, cancel 
service to only one of the "entities" and to upgrade/change the secret 
without requiring a flag-day event.
