Tristan, Actually, I think it's just the way that the network socket interface is specified. Intuitively, it would seem that if one process says "listen on this interface" and another just says "listen" then the second process should get all the remaining interfaces, but that could easily lead to confusion, so you can see why that's not the case.
Listening for connections on a particular IP address is something that we'll certainly consider for a future release.
