According to Bv9ARM.pdf p67 listen-on-v6 { any; }; does a wildcard bind on
supporting systems, while listen-on { any; }; behaves as you describe:
OPS:55 mhosk...@dev-ops-test1.vega:~$ grep listen-on /etc/namedb/named.conf
listen-on { any; };
listen-on-v6 { any; };
OPS:56 mhosk...@dev-ops-test1.vega:~$ netstat -an|grep 53
tcp 0 0 10.8.36.47:53 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

However (I usually just set it to 0), the caveat you might have missed is
that you can control how often (if at all) BIND rescans the list of
available interfaces (ARM p73):
"The server will scan the network interface list every interface-interval
minutes. The default is 60 minutes. The maximum value is 28 days (40320
minutes). If set to 0, interface scanning will only occur when the
configuration file is loaded. After the scan, the server will begin listen-
ing for queries on any newly discovered interfaces (provided they are
allowed by the listen-on configuration), and will stop listening on
interfaces that have gone away."
Setting interface-interval to a reasonably low value should keep you from
needing to rndc reconfig/reload.
