Hi guys.

I've:
non-local-bind=no
local-address=10.9.4.2,10.3.1.99,10.3.1.100
and *recursor* creates a listening socket with IP which does 
not exist - at least according to /netstat
/I was hoping - while not being pdns nor networking expert - 
for behaviour where *pdns* watches and waits for IP to 
appear and only then, when given IP exists on the system, 
pdns would start using it.
What is happening there - and how could I, if possible at 
all, get pdns to operate like that?
v 4.8.9 on Centos 9

many thanks, L.
