That's correct. The chief advantage of listening on the wildcard address
is that it all works as interfaces come and go. You lose that with
--bind-interfaces.

It would be possible these days to have dnsmasq detect extra interfaces
and bind to their addresses automatically, but the code to do that isn't
portable.
