I can control both RabbitMQ's service and the management interface via -

  {rabbit,          [ {tcp_listeners, [{'127.0.0.1',5672}]}, ... ] },
  {rabbitmq_mochiweb, [ {listeners, [{mgmt, [{port, 55672},
                                             {ip, "127.0.0.1"}]}]}]}

- but for epmd I can't find how to configure to only listen on a
specific interface / address.
