we could, but, as I asked John for, I'd rather a more generic solution
that allows me to bind the daemon to IP A, so that I can start up a second
one on IP B on the same machine ... which becomes great for doing things
like traffic monitoring, since I can monitor traffic going to database A
seperately from database B ...

I like John's thought, but think it stops too short, but should be
relatively easy to extend ...
