node-statsd binds to all hosts by default

Open watercrossing opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

When creating nodejs' dgram.Socket it is bound to all hosts by default. Is this intentional?

For public servers it might be a good idea to only bind to specific interfaces (e.g. localhost); this can be modified by calling Socket.bind.

What is the main concern here? While it binds on all ports by default, it is only sending out on localhost. Additionally, would you be willing to create a pull request?
