Does not work when options.interface is specified

See original GitHub issue

When options.interface is specified: require("multicast-dns")({interface:"192.168.1.1"}) it didn’t work (no error, just no services found) while in the very same system omitting the options worked. The system actually has only one interface 192.168.1.1.

If anyone is still wondering about this after one year like me :p

It seems that the latest version of the package adds a bind to options that is used as address in the socket.bind() call. Setting it to 0.0.0.0 seems to fix the problem.

Thanks! require("multicast-dns")({bind: "0.0.0.0", interface:"192.168.1.1"});
