=> not it is not by choice, just:
 - DNS requires to answer from the address the request was received
 - there is no standard/portable way to do this without the one
  socket per address in IPv4 (if you need an argument, just ask what
  this discussion is about :-)

=> BIND polls from time to time interfaces to bind() to new addresses
(again, there is no standard/portable way to be notified. BTW we (ISC)
know this is a point which can be improved so if you know a generic
simple solution...)
