gmetad: bind to a specific interface/IP?

[astrostl]

gmond has a well-documented and functional means of binding: 'bind ='. Absent directives in gmetad.conf, I tried 'bind', 'ip:port' for the pair of port directives, and 'inet_addr/sin_addr' (picked up via strace) - none worked, at least on the apparently ancient 3.1.7 release via EPEL. Is there a way in this version, or a future version?

I'm aware of the trust options (and firewalls), but I still like to use binding as my first line of defense.

Update: same attempts failed with 3.6.0.
