	# When several interfaces are configured to listen on the same subnet,
	# care must be taken to ensure responses go out the same interface the
	# corresponding query came in on to avoid problems with load balancers
	# and VLAN tagged interfaces. Linux offers the SO_BINDTODEVICE socket
	# option to bind a socket to a specified device. For FreeBSD, to
	# achieve the same result, specify the routing table to use after the
	# IP address to use SO_SETFIB.
