Right, thanks. I'm basically looking for some way to make clear in the bindings file that the IP will be ignored. Right now I use the localhost address but have a comment warning it's irrelevant. Using null plus the comment seems even better, I think I'll go with that. Users will only get a surprise if they change null to something else AND fail to read the comment. But at least that means it's an issue only for the really top notch idiots out there :-) One other problem: I have two ports that don't need particular numbers. Right now we use a default of '0', which means pick the first free port you come across. If I put '0' in the bindings file though, it only works for the default port set. For others it gets offset e.g. 0->100, which results in different semantics. I guess the best option is to pick fixed ports to use in the bindings file. Any preferences?
