I have written interface binding patches also.  There are two options:
1) Defining INTERFACE_BINDING in options.h which might break current
network objects.  Here's some sample evals:

;listen(#0, {"www.nowhere.net", 4567})
=> {"www.nowhere.net", 4567}
;listeners()
=> {{#0, {"myhost.com", 2342}, 1}, {#0, {"www.nowhere.net", 4567}, 1}}

2) Using a -h switch at the command line to define an address to use if
you don't want it to bind to INADDR_ANY (all interfaces).  Here's some
sample output:

badfup:~/MOO$ ./moo -h www.nowhere.net Minimal.db Minimal.db.new 7723
Mar  2 20:17:21: NAME_LOOKUP: Started new lookup process
