interface-interval 
                   The server will scan the network interface list every
                   interface-interval minutes. The default is 60
                   minutes. If set to 0, interface scanning will only
                   occur when the configuration file is loaded. After the
                   scan, listeners will be started on any new interfaces 
                   (provided they are allowed by the listen-on configuration).
                   Listeners on interfaces that have gone away will be 
                   cleaned up. 


So you want to add an interface-interval statement to the options{}
block of your named.conf.
