I am up for doing that! That is how I would prefer it be done. We
should add a command (maybe stat?) that can tell us what the binary
port is.

With ipv6 the interface is more natural for binding to multiple
interfaces.
For a binary UDP, we should default it on and to the same port as the
binary TCP (in my opinion).

Well, the one thing I have been pinged about is that this will allow
someone to push more data if they have been maxing out a single card's
interface. Mainly though, it just makes the interface complete.
