Forkserver can accept a --listen-address switch to listen on a particular address/interface instead of 0.0.0.0, but only one. This expands the handling of that switch so as to listen on any number of local addresses, using IO::Select to manage them. The default is a single socket on 0.0.0.0, as usual.
That's an added complication, and more code - which usually means that more things can go wrong. In what circumstances would someone want more than one interface, but not all interfaces?
