just my 2 cents. but i always wondered about the existence of

do almost automaticaly =)
Try running two postmasters on the same box using the same port (but
different IPs) w/o being able to control what IPs it listens on.
Right. listen_addresses replaced two previous settings: tcpip_socket and
virtual_host. And back before 8.0 the default setting was not to listen
on *any* IP address.
I'm inclined to think our default setting is about right. It is very
common to run an application on the same machine as the database server
it uses, and then there is no often need to adjust listen_addresses at all.
