Hi,

We've got a bit of a problem with a named process.  We run named on
our virtual web server (now FreeBSD2.2.2).  This has a whole class
C of ip addresses and named tries to bind to them all.  This is a bit
excessive!!

I've now patched named so that it can take a flag which specifies an
IP address to bind to.  Is there anyway that this functionallity could
be make official?   (So that it doesn't break on the next cvsup!)

Joe
