BIND8NT not listening on any interface

Hi,

I have a new installation of BIND8NT on a NT 4.0 machine.

I have two NIC cards, one to a DSL router and one to an internal, 
non-routable, LAN

When I boot normally with both NIC cards the event log says that named is 
"not listening on any interfaces".

If I disable the internal NIC through the bindings in the network control 
panel so that only the WAN NIC is active and then reboot the system a 
message is logged saying named is "listening on [209.147.72.35].53 (NdisWan 
Adapter) " which is correct and it responds to local queries on that IP. 
 When it says it's not listening it doesn't respond to queries.

My conf file that I am using for testing has the following:

options
{
 directory "d:\winnt\system32\dns\etc";
	notify no;
	fetch-glue no;
	listen-on { 209.147.72.35; };
};

I am wondering, does the NT version of BIND support more than one NIC?  Is 
this normal behavior?
