[6bone] IPv6 NTP testing

Hi,

| I've setup a web page with a list of known and verified ipv6 ntp servers:
Thanks for the list!

I was looking at ntp1.bit.nl a bit and see that it's binding UDP sockets
on any IP address it can find:
udp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.123          *.*                    
udp6       0      0  fe80:4::1.123          *.*                    
udp6       0      0  ::1.123                *.*                    
udp6       0      0  2001:7b8:3:2c::5.123   *.*                    
udp6       0      0  2001:7b8:3:2c::1.123   *.*                    
udp6       0      0  2001:7b8:3:2c:20.123   *.*                    
udp4       0      0  213.136.12.53.123      *.*                    
udp4       0      0  213.136.12.52.123      *.*                    
udp6       0      0  fe80:1::202:b3ff.123   *.*                    
udp4       0      0  213.136.12.51.123      *.*                    

AND on the UDP unspecified address in both protocol families:
udp6       0      0  *.123                  *.*                    
udp4       0      0  *.123                  *.*                    

Is there anybody who can explain this behavior, and perhaps have the 
server bind either to 'the unspecified, thus any' or to a specific IPv4
IPv6 address ?
