If you want to bind your splunk instance to a particular ip rather than bind to default, then you can change it by setting SPLUNK_BINDIP parameter in splunk-launch.conf in etc folder of your splunk installation.

CAUTION : When using this setting you must update mgmtHostPort in web.conf to match, or the command line and splunkweb will not know how to reach splunkd.

SPLUNK_BINDIP=<ip address>
* Specifies an interface that splunkd and splunkweb should bind to, as
  opposed to binding to the default for the local operating system.
* If unset, Splunk makes no specific request to the operating system when
  binding to ports/opening a listening socket.  This means it effectively
  binds to '*'; i.e.  an unspecified bind.  The exact result of this is
  controlled by operating system behavior and configuration.
* NOTE: When using this setting you must update mgmtHostPort in web.conf to
  match, or the command line and splunkweb will not know how to
  reach splunkd.
* For splunkd, this sets both the management port and the receiving ports
  (from forwarders).
* Useful for a host with multiple IP addresses, either to enable
  access or restrict access; though firewalling is typically a superior
  method of restriction.
* Overrides the Splunkweb-specific web.conf/[settings]/server.socket_host
  param; the latter is preferred when SplunkWeb behavior is the focus.
* Defaults to unset.

README ? conf.spec?
Can splunk-launch.conf move in /opt/splunk/etc ?

Yes the location of splunk-launch.conf is in /opt/splunk/etc/.

Reference : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.3/Admin/Splunk-launchconf#splunk-launch.conf.spec

# Note: this conf file is different from most splunk conf files.  There is
# only one in the whole system, located at
# $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf; further, there are no stanzas,
# explicit or implicit.  Finally, any splunk-launch.conf files in
# etc/apps/... or etc/users/... will be ignored

Answer from renjith.nair is perfectly correct. But what I would do in an enteprise/corporate system is to create a separate app with various "splunk" web configurations and then put entry into the "local" of it.

eg of new app: myapp_prod_web_confs
put an entry into "myapp_prod_web_confs/local/web.conf" and put your entries into that. Copy the app (or push the app) and restart
