#316 socket bindings

[Anonymous]

GREAT product.

Present option for POP3/WWW listening is either 127.0.0.1, or All.
For some of us multi-homed boxes, it'd be nice if we could
specify which IP address is listened to. It'd be better if, for
example, I could expose the www interface on my internal Nic,
and not have it bind to the public one. Same holds for the Pop3
proxy - it's offering that proxy on both Nics, which is probably not
appropriate... only the one on my 192.x Nic is desired.

Would be even better if it could be passed a stream
connection through xinetd - as it can handle per
address/port bindings. I am interested in setting this up to
listen on port 110 of teh public address while allowing the
(plain) pop3 client to run on port 110 of the loopback
address of the same machine...

OP: I had the same idea. I touched the code slightly to make
this possible, but it is not integrated. If you want to do this,
go into the code (Proxy.pm and HTTP.pm) and look for the
codefragment where the LocalAddr option is set. If you set it
to the internal inteface you're done.
