I'm not sure - what about machines with multiple NIC's or multiple IP's/NIC?
Maybe we are missing a setting or two:
- What IP(s) to bind (or not bind) to - could be used to limit access to
localhost.
- The option to not use TCP at all.


I think the option to tell what IP's to use/not use could be especially
useful.
