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.
