[pve-devel] [RFC http-server manager 0/2] fix #2997: allow setting BIND_IP for proxy

[Oguz Bektas]

maybe a simple approach like this is okay?

can also be called "LISTEN_IP" or similar

any reason why the '0.0.0.0' is necessary? (the socket got created with
undef before after all) - Given that I find the inner workings of perl
IO::Socket::IP (which gets passed the arguments in create_reusable_socket
eventually) a bit surprising in certain situations I think leaving it as
it was might have its merit

did you test it in a few different scenarios? - e.g.:
* ipv6 only host
* dual-stacked host
* host with multiple interfaces and IPs

after looking at it more it looks like `undef` might be better indeed.

no, i've only tested ipv4 -- i'll take a look at these too

I'd rather go the way PBS does, just listen on really all by default.

PVE often uses multiple networks where the proxy needs to be able on more
than one, a single settign may not cut it in all setups.

It's simpler to just always listen on all and let admins restrict with FW
where required.
