If my server has multiple IP addresses assigned to it, and I would like to listen to some (or all) of them, how do I go about doing that?
Do I need to create a new socket for each IP address, and bind it? Can i bind multiple ip addresses to a single socket? Does IPAddress.Any listen on all IP addresses? The MSDN library is very unclear on this matter.
You cannot bind a single socket to multiple endpoints. A
SocketException(invalid argument error) occurs the second time you callBind()for a given socket.As others have said, you can use
IPAddress.Anyto listen to the IPv4 addresses on the local machine. However, if you only want to listen on a subset of the available IP addresses, you’ll have to create separate sockets.
