Bind application to a specific IP on the machine

First,

Wonderful software. Far better than anything else I have seen on the net.

I do have a feature request if is poissible with out recoding tons.

It would be nice to be able to bind the application to a IP along with the port.

Thanks in advance :]]

Just curious: why do you wanna do that?

By default, I think Subsonic binds to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces).

I have a webserver sitting on 80, 8080 and I would like to publish it through my firewall on a normal 80 port.

The server does multiple things and I would like to stick it on it's own ip/port instead of loosing the bind port across all 8 ip's on the box.

Ah, I see.

Well, it's currently not possible to specify the host (without modifying the source and recompiling). Unless you're using the Tomcat version, of course.

I'll strongly consider to add this as an option in 3.7.

Thanks,
Sindre

Implemented in 3.7

How is this done in Jetty. I'd like to bind Subsonic to a specific IP so I don't have to use non-standard http ports, or port forward.

You can specify -Dsubsonic.host=<your ip> in c:/programfiles/subsonic/subsonic-service.exe.vmoptions.

How is this is done in Linux?

Please see the documentation in /etc/default/subsonic or /etc/sysconfig/subsonic.
