Why? *:1000 includes 200.47.36.254:1000 by definition of bind(2). Binding two sockets to one address (200.47.36.254:1000 in your case) cannot be allowed because it is unclear which of the two sockets should recieve packets destined to 200.47.36.254:1000. There may be other reasons. Alex. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
