[Seaside] Starting a site

[Boris Popov]

Janko,

I do remember having this discussion as well, but in many situations you are deploying behind a web server of some sorts by proxying the Seaside/Swazoo combo, so IP configuration takes place there and does not belong in the application, at least as far as I'm concerned. So I want to bind to all addresses and let other people (or load balancers) decide which ones they will route traffic to (this becomes even more important in managed environments, which is where we are currently moving to).

In a nutshell given the following two choices, which would you prefer if you wanted to listen on all interfaces?

A) Query the host for its interfaces and bind to all of them individually
B) Bind to 0.0.0.0

Thanks!

-Boris
