Subject: | [Qemu-devel] Is there a reason -redir binds to INADDR_ANY? |

Is there a particular reason for this limitation? Is there any interest in a patch to allow specific host interface binding?
It seems a straightforward change, through the most obvious choice for a new -redir syntax might create backwards compatibility problems. It's currently:
-redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port And the most obvious change would be something like: -redir [tcp|udp]:[host-host]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-portGranted, the parser could choose the first syntax if only three colons are found, and the second if four are found... but that's not very pretty.
Incidentally, is there a rough timeline or estimate for the next formal release of qemu? I'm not super eager to deviate from the mainline for long, nor adopt unstable code prematurely.
Thanks! -david
