Just because you "down" the interface does not mean that
addresses assigned to that interface are no longer assosciated
with the host system.
If you wish the machine not to respond to any of the interface's
addresses, you must explicitly delete them from the interface
address list.
Why would you want this behaviour? If it's configured down, it would
seem that the user is trying to tell the system not to use it :)
