It would if there was any.

Before sntp was added, no IP routing was required in the fileserver.
It did not route.  It did not originate calls, as all it had to do was
reply to messages.  It did this by sending the reply to the interface
it received the request from.  There is inherent security and
simplicity in the server being passive.

When I added sntp, I just chose the first interface, out of laziness.
Essentially Geoff has just implemented routing, and very useful it is
too.
