[AG-TECH] Binding a bridge to a nic

[Jon Johansson]

Hi,

I'm moving my bridge to a new machine and I would like to bind
the bridge process to a particular nic because the other one
is going to be busy doing other stuff. I can't seem to make it
work, though. I've used the 'listenPort' option to the Bridge3.py
where
   IPADDRESS="129.128.125.61:23000"
   --listenPort=$IPADDRESS
but listenPort is supposed to be an integer, only the port number.

When I run the bridge without this, the ip address of the other
nic appears in the bridge registry.

Is there any way to force the bridge process to use a particular
nic?

Thanks,
Jon.
