You could, but it would require an interface not currently provided by rx, 
in place of the current rx_Init() and rx_NewService(), which take only a 
port number.  Eventually, we are going to need new versions of these API's, 
and ideally we should adopt one general enough to avoid replacing it again 
in another year or two.

New versions of these API's should probably accept a list of socket 
addresses, allowing an application to bind only to specific addresses (or 
to use the "any" address to simulate current behavior), and to use 
different ports on different interfaces.  And of course, the list should be 
sockaddr's, not IPv4 addresses, so we don't have to revisit it in order to 
support IPv6.
