++    <p>The <code class="directive">ListenFree</code> directive is
++    identical to the <code class="directive">Listen</code> directive. 
++    The only difference is in the usage of the IP_FREEBIND socket 
++    option, which is enabled by default with <code class="directive">ListenFree</code>. 
++    If IP_FREEBIND is enabled, it allows httpd to bind to an IP
++    address that is nonlocal or does not (yet) exist. This allows httpd to 
++    listen on a socket without requiring the underlying network interface
++    or the specified dynamic IP address to be up at the time when httpd
++    is trying to bind to it.
