You have to. It's a connectionless protocol, so there is no assurance that packets will travel anything like the same path, or even arrive at all.

It might be better to write a proxy that hides the reality of networking from your bespoke application. Brad - -- http://linux.conf.au. 22-25Jan2003. Perth, Aust. I'm registered.
