	listen-on applies to *both* ports and addresses.  The syntax
	above is perfectly valid.  It is saying of all the interfaces
	connected to the machine only attempt to bind to those which
	match this list.

	As for why the bind has failed one needs to know which OS
	is involed as various OS's return non-standard error codes
	under certain conditions.  man bind(2) for what conditions
	result in EINVAL.
