Upgrade to BIND 8.1 and use the "listen-on" directive.

        listen-on port 53 { any; };     // listen for queries on port 53 on
                                        // any interface on the system
                                        // (i.e. all interfaces).  The
                                        // "port 53" is optional; if you
                                        // don't specify a port, port 53
                                        // is assumed.
        /*
         * Multiple listen-on statements are allowed.  Here's a more
         * complicated example:
         */
        /*
        listen-on { 5.6.7.8; };         // listen on port 53 on interface
                                        // 5.6.7.8
        listen-on port 1234 {           // listen on port 1234 on any
                !1.2.3.4;               // interface on network 1.2.3
                1.2.3/24;               // netmask 255.255.255.0, except for
        };                              // interface 1.2.3.4.
