Description
Apologies in advance if this is a limitation of rsyslog not librelp.
Currently it appears that when you enable librelp (imrelp) in rsyslog that it listens on all available IPs and there is no way to restrict this to listening on a single IP.
Would it be possible to add a feature to librelp so an IP can be specified along with the port (currently implemented) to restrict where the server listens for incoming connections?

Research direction
Start by tracing how the imrelp server currently configures its listening port and how librelp creates the listener. Determine where a bind IP could be specified alongside the port. Done means the server can be restricted to one configured IP instead of listening on all available IPs.
