He's talking about e.g. an ethernet interface binding several addresses
or a machine having several interfaces or some other reason why a server
could bind e.g. port 4000 on 192.168.1.1 but not on 192.168.1.2 or, say,
127.0.0.1 -- even though those addresses all point to the same machine.
People use this functionality for e.g. Apache constantly. It is quite
easy to implement in DGD -- I'll let Felix talk about whether or not he
has any plans to put it into the distribution.
