What do you mean, exactly ? bbtest-net doesn't listen for incoming
connections, it only establishes outbound connections.

If your Hobbit server has multiple IP's, the choice of which IP to use
for an outbound connection is usually best done by the OS, which is what
happens currently.

(It's not difficult to bind() a socket to a particular local address,
the real problem is figuring out how to define a configuration syntax
for it).
