Well, that's not what I would expect.  Suppose I have a device
configured with local addresses 192.168.11.12 and 192.168.98.99 and I
start listening for some service at the address 192.168.11.12.  I
don't think I should see a connection request if a remote system tries
to connect to 192.168.98.99 (even though it's the same network
interface as 192.168.11.12).
