bind ip - what is it used for?

hey

what's this used for and i can use it properly?

// The map server listens on the interface with this IP address.
// NOTE: This allows you to run multiple servers on multiple interfaces
// while using the same ports for each server.
//bind_ip: 127.0.0.1

A machine can have more than one ip address, this binds the ip to the server.  So if you wanted to host a low rate and a high rate off the same machine, this setting would allow it.

I really learned a lot from you SRHMike. You deserve a +1.
