Well, I am a little confused. First, forgetting the technical programming
(i.e. the C calls) points for a moment, aren't listen and bind the same
thing? or is there some error in the manual?
Second, James (perhaps his request was not properly formulated) wanted
communications to "come out" of certain IP addresses -- this implies we are
talking about a client, not the server. Note, all three daemons (DIR, FD,
and SD) are both a client and a server depending on whom they are talking to
so one needs to carefully specify what we are dealing with.
