(pst, this is now -H in trunk).

We wouldn't want to bind for client connections.  They can come from any interface.

Have you added ore $pbsserver directives to pbs_mom's config?  pbs_mom can
accept server connections from many IPs.

Have you seen the new HA support in trunk?  Multiple pbs_server processes on
different hosts will use different IPs and pbs_mom won't care.
