It *is* based on the intrinsic information: the IP address to which the
socket is bound.
Repeat after me: "A Hostname Is Just An Alias For An IP Address".
You're working with IP here, and limiting the socket to only accept
connections to 127.0.0.1. So, you'll have to move over whatever
hostname(s) you want to use as alias(es) for 127.0.0.1.

See my previous email: Yes, but not trivially and you can configure your
firewall to prevent it.
