Synopsis

BindAddress hostname

Description

[server config]

Specifies the network addresses this server will listen for connections on. Either an IP address or DNS name can be used. In addition, you can also specify an asterisk (*) to have the server listen on all the server IP addresses. Here are some examples:

BindAddress www.oreilly.com
BindAddress *

The former will listen for clients connecting on the IP address that maps to www.oreilly.com, which the server occupies. The latter will listen for connections on every IP address that the server occupies. Only one BindAddress directive may be declared.
