[users@httpd] Is Apache listening on dynamic IP addresses ?

[Antoine PICOLET <an...@sagem.com>]

Hello all,

I would like to make sure of an Apache behavior, before taking it for 
granted :

I have a platform whose IP addresses evolve constantly while Apache is 
running : some are added, other removed, etc
I noticed that, using a directive like 'Listen *:80', Apache is always 
listening on all the platform IP addresses, even if they evolve while it's 
running, so that I can reach it immediately with a newly-created IP 
address. 
This behavior would be absolutely perfect for me. Is it really like that, 
or am I mistaking (my tests could be broken, or maybe it works only a 
certain number of time, or anything...) ?

Thank you

If apache is listening on * you can add / remove IPs dynamically and it 
will work with the new IP and not with old.
netstat shows it is listening on all IPs at port 80 - it means it !
