Hi, Andrew.

Have you had a chance to consider the patch sent by Freddie?  You seem
open to reviewing and accepting such a patch in the following Tech-Talk
post:

  http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2013/msg01493.php

I haven't looked at the patch, but the ability to specify the addresses
on which the IOC CA server listens has been a feature I've wished for
for a long time.

Thanks!

Lewis
