   Alas I don't see the way to bind an abstract process to the specific IP 
address on hosts with several IPs. For applications which use connect(2),
we have net/libconnect port, but simple experiments with it and a couple of
trivial resolver(3) consumers (like ping or telnet) show that resolver(3)
doesn't use connect(2) by default, so net/libconnect can't change source IP 
address for DNS queries on the fly.
