It won't do it. The ISC server only supports certain types of
interface (those supporting broadcast facilities I believe). In a
thread that came up last week, it was suggested that if you compile
with an option to use sockets, then you can run it on non-broadcast
interfaces - but it then won't support local clients.

Try addressing it by it's IP address ?
