How to allow users to use the IPs on server

I've a small server. It has been allocated 3 IPs, eg: 127.0.0.1 (Server IP), 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3. They has been resolved to a domain respectively.

I'd like to run eggdrop on my machine from a user account, but I do not want to use the server IP, I'd like to use 127.0.0.3. In other words, I'd like to use other IP to run the eggdrop.

Can someone guide me how to make this come alive? It always uses the Server IP by default.

Regards,

Could you not map an IP to a subdomain?

In your eggdrop startup script (which also doubles as the configuration file), look for or add a line like this:

set my-ip "127.0.0.3"

This should force eggdrop to bind to the interface that is home to the given IP address.
