@wankdanker this handles if the user DOES manually define broadcast as an option, to use what they supplied. Also expands the API to support passing an array instead of a single value.

The new code below only activates if the user did not manually declare broadcast.

self.destination = Array.isArray( self.broadcast) ? self.broadcast.slice(0) : [self.broadcast];
} else {
self.destination = [];
var networkInterfaces = os.networkInterfaces();
for (var interfaceName in networkInterfaces) {
