You'll be at odds with the systemd mafia. On https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/ at the bottom, they specifically write: If you write a server: if you want to listen on other, explicitly configured addresses, consider using the IP_FREEBIND sockopt functionality of the Linux kernel. This allows your code to bind to an address even if it is not actually (yet or ever) configured locally. This also makes your code robust towards network configuration changes. And in fact, I do agree with them. Do you think adding IP_FREEBIND is an option? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
