Hi,


Yesterday I proposed a patch on to limit avahi to a specific interface 
based on the source address when opening each socket. As a real Michael 
Niedermayer, Sjoerd shot the patch on sight and suggested an interface 
based approach.

This patch tries to accomplish to limit the used interfaces based on a 
user defined list in the daemon configuration file. The idea would be if 
the list is not defined, it will just process every found interface, if 
the list is present, it will iterate over the list for every found 
interface. A todo is clean the list from duplicates.

The patch compiles on svn, but I have not yet tested it. Open for more 
feedback!
