According to the manpage the -G flag enables listening on all
addresses (INADDR_ANY) rather than just the loop back
(INADDR_LOOPBACK) address. This is unfortunately a little too
unspecific for us.
Is it possible to specify specific interfaces to listen on?
I believe you would have to implement such a feature.
Typically people who want to do what I'm guessing you want to do (you
didn't really explain) would use firewall configuration.
If I recall correctly (80% odds I wrote or suggested the patch for -G),
this is just flipping the address from INADDR_ANY to INADDR_LOOPBACK in
the bind call. But you can read the code to see.
