[Pvfs2-developers] patch: binding to specific addresses

[Phil Carns]

bind-specific.patch:
--------------------
This patch adds a new config file option (TCPBindSpecific) that if 
enabled tells the server to bind only to its specific IP address rather 
than using INADDR_ANY.  This is particularly helpful in failover 
scenarios where you would like one physical machine to assume two ip 
addresses (and two servers) to run simultaneously when another server 
crashes.  Without this patch you would need to select a different port 
on each server to prevent collisions.
