Heres my take on it...

The code should support binding to an interface, rather than using INADDR_ANY, this is a case thats going to happen. 50% or more of linux users are going to be using their linux box as a firewall/masq. box and trying to play from the internal lan. It also cuts off other potential binding issues that could happen when using multihomed machines.

I'd like to see a command line option passing in which interface to use into zone on startup, should be a simple change combined with the changes Coder made.

On the otherhand, there is a workaround, even though I wasnt able to get it to work, you should try it first. I still think that this is a valid change to put in that stems off potential problems in the future though.
