If a service is listening on host INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0), then it should
accept connections on any interfaces and IP addresses that happen to
be configured when the connection request comes in.  (Or am I missing
something?)

On my boxen, sshd binds to INADDR_ANY.  I think that's the default
behavior for sshd.

Wouldn't it be better to tweak the servers' configs than restart
them frequently?
