    BIND will attempt to listen on all your interface aliases.  There
is a patch available for BIND 4.9.x that adds an "interface" directive
for your named.boot file, where you can tell BIND to listen for DNS
queries only on particular IP numbers.  I don't have a URL handy, but
it's probably listed in the BIND documentation somewhere.
