Multi-Homed hosts and BIND 8

[Jeffrey C. Albro]

Hmmmm.....

Bind will listen on both interfaces by default, and should give the same
reply no matter which interface the request comes in on.  I don't think it
sends in it's reply something to the effect of "This answer came from 2nd
interface" etc.

However, you CAN run TWO copies of bind, one for each interface and have
them do differtn things, but why would you want to?  Requests should only
come in on the ip address/interface you specify.
