Yes, that makes sense to me. I don't see any reason to have multiple
addresses for those. If you do allow multiple addresses, that would
only be for consistency with the other options, like listen_addresses
and pcp_listen_addresses. We are going to use '*' anyway, because in a
docker container that works fine.

For some reason, our configuration file already contains a
wd_heartbeat_port, which I can't find in the manual. But it even
contains a comment stating that a change requires a restart, so it
must have come from somewhere:

wd_heartbeat_port = 9694
                                    # Port number for receiving heartbeat signal
                                    # (change requires restart)

Best regards,
