I have been struggling with this for over a month and was unsucuessful in getting the server and associated applications to bind to the IP that I needed. So I broke the server up into separate VMware systems for Mail, VoIP, IM, and document management.
Good for system management, bad for the system administrator and the extra work that it involved.
Zimbra is an complicated mashup of a dozen or so applications with their respective SSL certs, name bindings and IP address bindings. I can only imagine that the future holds the integration of more applications to handle the requests of feature hungry users like me.
I think it would be worth the time to tackle a project like this now. There just needs to be a simple script that we can run that takes care of the all of the heavy lifting and black magic needed to bind applications (any or all) to specific IP addresses/ports.
