why cannot bind to someipaddress:port when something else has *:port bound?

[horape@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

¡Hola!

The following program binds *:1000 to a socket, and then tries to bind
200.47.36.254:1000 to another socket, the error i gets is "Address
already in use". Why?

I am not asking for a "you're not allowed to do that", I know. I don't
ask for a "why are you trying to do that?", I amn't trying. But I need
to know why that's not permited. I know vaguely but i need a more sound
explanation. A pointer to a mailing list/usenet archive where the subject
was discussed in the past would be great.

Just another time, i am asking for the theory about why that shouldn't
be allowed. Not the fact that it's not allowed.

Lots of thanks,
                                        HoraPe

The code is:

main()
{
l4();
l4esp();

select(0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
}

int l4()
{
int listenfd;
struct sockaddr_in cliaddr, servaddr;
socklen_t clilen;

listenfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

if(listenfd < 0)
        die();

memset(&servaddr, 0, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
servaddr.sin_port = htons(1000);

if(bind(listenfd, (struct sockaddr*) &servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0)
        die();

if(listen(listenfd, 10) != 0)
        die();

}

int l4esp()
{
int listenfd;
struct sockaddr_in cliaddr, servaddr;
socklen_t clilen;

listenfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

if(listenfd < 0)
        die();

memset(&servaddr, 0, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
servaddr.sin_port = htons(1000);

if(bind(listenfd, (struct sockaddr*) &servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0)
        die();

if(listen(listenfd, 10) != 0)
        die();

}

int l4esp()
{
int listenfd;
struct sockaddr_in cliaddr, servaddr;
socklen_t clilen;

listenfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

if(listenfd < 0)
        die();

memset(&servaddr, 0, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(0xc82f24fe);
servaddr.sin_port = htons(1000);

if(bind(listenfd, (struct sockaddr*) &servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0)
        die();

if(listen(listenfd, 10) != 0)
        die();

}

die()
{
printf("die %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
