(Note that some of these do not currently document `-rxbind`, notably `kaserver` because it is not being maintained. Again, the preferred solution here is to migrate off of `kaserver`, but the `rxbind` option _will_ work if needed.) +Database servers can *not* safely operate multihomed; the Ubik replication protocol assumes a 1-to-1 mapping between addresses and servers.
