Greetings Chris,

My box is 5107R, and it really did only listen/respond on the main server 
IP until I added that config option. I would see this:

[root at r4 ~]# nslookup -q=a lfga.ca 207.34.56.193
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Okay, now this is weird! It is now magically working on all of the IPs on 
that box, without the "listen-on" config option!!

Now I see:

[root at r4 ~]# nslookup -q=a lfga.ca 207.34.56.193
Server:         207.34.56.193
Address:        207.34.56.193#53

Name:   lfga.ca
Address: 207.34.56.202

which is just what I wanted to begin with.

All's well that ends well :-)
