Is there any special configuration required for InCache on multihomed machines? (Doc ID 1508844.1)

Goal

Each CS node is a multihomed machine with more than one network adapter. When configuring InCache we have specified the address to use for listener configuration in

<cacheManagerPeerListenerFactory
  class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMICacheManagerPeerListenerFactory"
  properties="hostName=node1.customer.com, port=41021, remoteObjectPort=41121, socketTimeoutMillis=2000" />

but have noticed two things
a) InCache is binding to all interfaces not just one as we would expect
b) cache peers are announcing themselves as being on addresses other than those configured in hostName parameter above, so cache invalidation across the cluster is not working.

How should we configure InCache for multihomed machines?
