Sort, of it’s not quite as clean as the socket binding under Apache but the principle works something like this.Standalone mode To listen on the primary IP of a host use the SocketBindTight directive To listen on a interfaces which are not the primary host interface use the SocketBindTight directive, place your server configuration in a block and use “Port 0” for the main host configuration and and “Port 21” inside the VirtualHost block.inetd There are two approaches possible, the first is to use the patch from Daniel Roesen (check the mailing list archives). The second method is to run ProFTPD from xinetd (http://synack.net/xinetd/), a more advanced replacement of inetd.
