hello list. this is a silly question, but it has me confused. i was wondering if there is any reason why an application that binds to the INADDR_ANY v4 address, should also bind to all the addresses in its interface list. the ntp code does this, and i was wondering if there are any advantages in doing this. maybe it has something to do with addresses being added and deleted??? any help is appreciated. br, vijay - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
