Exactly, the current system gives the choice of setting it globally or
per-interface in the same file.

I can think of a couple of uses for this.
A laptop with wired and wireless interfaces. wired is only used on the

locations with the domain set via DHCP.
A server with multiple interfaces, running different domains on each,
although this could also be done with virtual hosts.
