Binding by Hostname

Hi

I hope someone can help me here...

I'm trying to set up HAproxy to bind two different listeners to different hostnames.

I found this in the docs for the bind command:

<address> is optional and can be a host name,

so i set up my config file like this

defaults
  mode http

frontend www
  bind wildfalcon.com:80
  timeout client 5000

frontend test
  bind www.wildfalcon.com:80   timeout client 86400000

And I get the following error message

Available polling systems :

       poll : pref=200,  test result OK
     select : pref=150,  test result OK

Total: 2 (2 usable), will use poll.
Using poll() as the polling mechanism.
[ALERT] 105/160114 (10091) : Starting frontend www: cannot bind socket
[ALERT] 105/160114 (10091) : Starting frontend test: cannot bind socket

Why can the socket not be bound to (i'm starting as sudo to ensure I have permissions)?

Thanks in advance

Laurie
