> The PortUtil class has the following method:
>    public static boolean checkPort(int p)
>    {
>       boolean available = true;
>       ServerSocket socket = null;
>       try
>       {
>          socket = new ServerSocket(p);
>       }
>       catch(IOException e)
>       {
>          log.debug("port " + p + " already in use.  Will try another.");
>          available = false;
>       }
>       finally
>       {
>          if(socket != null)
>          {
>             try
>             {
>                socket.close();
>             }
>             catch(IOException e)
>             {
>             }
>          }
>       }
>       return available;
>    }
> problem is that just using ServerSocket(p) creates the socket on the localhost and can not specify particular bind address.
> Also, the way is coded now, will continue to loop forever looking for a port.
