RE: Client binding to a specific local address

[Daniel Le <daniel.le@exfo.com>]

Indeed, similarly to "telnet -b <client-local-address>" or Microsoft LDAP client API function ldap_set_option(LDAP_OPT_SOCKET_BIND_ADDRESSES...) and my system is a multi-homed host.

Maybe there's a misunderstanding:

As I read it Daniel asks for setting the client's *out-going* IP address, something like
telnet -b <local-address>. Probably he's on a multi-homed host or has a more complicated
IP configuration and has to use a specific out-going address for getting his packets
accepted by the server.
