I can see that if the SlimServer advertised itself as 'Audrey', and the
Squeezebox resolves Audrey to the other IP address bound to the NIC,
then there'd be a problem.

The other possibility is the Squeezebox remembers the server that used
to run at the Audrey address.  Short of doing a factory reset, I don't
know how else to test that possibility.

The alternate port is a red herring.  I see the same behavior if the
port is set to the default 9000.

Mostly just to simplify the server URL - I can just enter 'slim' in a
browser address bar to call up the server's web UI.  I see no good
reason to run on an alternate HTTP port since I can easily configure
additional IP addresses on the machine and use the standard HTTP port.
