  Suppose, not hypothetically, that you have an Unbound server with multiple network interfaces, at least two (which I will call A and B), and you'd like Unbound to listen on all of the interfaces. Perhaps these are physical interfaces and there are client machines on both, or perhaps they're virtual interfaces and you have virtual machines on them. Let's further assume that these are routed networks, so that in theory people on A can talk to IP addresses on B and vice versa.
