What about adding "bind_interface" (at both the global inetd

Yikes.
I don't see how such a request is even possible. First, we'd have to
create some sort of Linux-like "bind to interface" misfeature on
Solaris, as the kernel currently doesn't do what I think you're
asking.

This wasn't what I was thinking of (I didn't even know linux had
this misfeature.)
I don't mean that there should be either a system call or similar
interface to support this using the kernel, rather that inetd should
be able to take my input of "bge0" and translate that into an IP
address for passing through to a bind() call.
This may, in addition, require inetd to listen to the routing socket
in order to close the socket and bind again to a different address,
if we were to support the more dynamic side of network interfaces.
