Listen on all interfaces

Hi,
I want my bind(9.2.3) to listen to all the interfaces - thus I do NOT
include a "listen-on" line.
However what it actually does is listen to EACH interface - which might
sound fine at first thought - this means it listens to all the
interfaces.
However, when I create a new interface I'd have to restart bind so it'll
listen to it as well (I need it for HA reasons, sometimes I need to use
another IP on the same machine). Unlike bind, most of the daemons I know
don't listen to a specific interface.
That's how it looks from lsof:
bind-style stuff which listen to EACH interface:
named 213 bind 20u IPv4 361 UDP localhost:domain
named 213 bind 22u IPv4 363 UDP other_interface:domain
Other daemons (the good behaviour..)
ntpd 1091 root 4u IPv4 3081 UDP *:ntp
What do you think? Is it a 'bug'?
