Never heard of it, thanks!

Hi,

Use IP_RECVIF option.

For IP_SENDIF look at

I used the patch on my embedded FreeBSD 9.0 boxes and it works fine. I
modificated it slightly to match 9.0.

   Hi,
   I want to solve the classic problem of a DHCP server: listening for
   broadcast UDP packets and figuring out what interface a packet has
   come in.
   The Linux solution is SO_BINDTODEVICE, which according to socket(7):
   SO_BINDTODEVICE
          Bind this socket to a particular device like "eth0", as
          specified in the passed interface name. If the name is an empty
          string or the option length is zero, the socket device binding
          is removed. The passed option is a variable-length
          null-terminated interface name string with the maximum size of
          IFNAMSIZ. If a socket is bound to an interface, only packets
          received from that particular interface are processed by the
          socket. Note that this only works for some socket types,
          particularly AF_INET sockets. It is not supported for packet
          sockets (use normal [1]bind(2) there).

   This makes it possible to listen on selected interfaces for
   (broadcast) packets. FreeBSD currently doesn't implement this feature
