Hmm. it *should* do that automatically. Maybe it does not recognize the
ethernet interfaces on your system at all? Do those work?

If you posted some more info about your setup (O/S, named.conf or named.boot file,
output of ifconfig and/or netstat -i) it might be possible to say more.

If you use BIND 8, you can always try using

	options {
	 [...]
	 listen-on [ port ip_port ] { address_match_list }; 
	 [...]
	 }

For that to work the IP address listed must naturally be assigned to
a working interface. There is no way you can specify the interfaces
themselves...
