Actually, you may have had a misconfiguration. If you set BIND_ADDRESS
in /etc/idmgr.conf, there is no need to touch idmanager.py -- it reads
the value properly from the config file.

I've just tested such override, and it worked correctlyfor me. No
patching (to idmanager code) needed.

Of course the /etc/idmgr.conf we ship in xs-config is buggy, but the
program itself reads and obeys its configuration AFAICS...

cheers,
