I would really like to see somehting like this as well. For example, I would like INADDR_ANY to bind to a particular interface/ip address (say on a net 10.x.x.x). Then Apache or other services could bind to specific addresses (the outside world). This would make security a little easier without having to turn on ipfw or modify a lot of standard applications to do specific binding.
