I guess you meant ipmasq.. it's a really nice peace of software for lazy people
;-)
I made bind run as user in just a few minutes using the standard potato
package and I guess this _SHOULD_ be the default behaviour.
Now.. with dynamic interfaces - for PPP at least - we could have an
/etc/ppp.d/ip-{up,down}.d/bind scripts that make bind listen on the new
interface if that's necessary (ask the user at install time).
Just my $0.005 ;-)
