It gets slightly more complicated than that. I need it cross platform

results (well, none that seem relevant, anyways). Even if it did, I'm
not sure how you specify the device's name in Windows, being as it is
that Windows does not have a 1:1 relationship between IP addresses and
devices.
Neither does Linux (although you wont be aware of that if you're only using
ifconfig):

What BINDTODEVICE does is force the routing code to consider only routes that go
through the requested interface.
