Danny -

Yes, that is correct. I didn't see the query-on so was yapping about listen-on so you'd have a point of reference. 

Thanks!

Phil

What you require is the query-on option. I haven't had time to roll it
into a release yet. You need outbound queries to go on the routeable
address, correct? listen-on is to do with addresses/interfaces that it
will accept requests on.
