Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but wouldn't this normally be accomplished by 
changing the route table on your multi-homed client machine?

Subject: [PATCH] s_client: bind to local ip (ticket 2578)

Hello,

This patch implements a change in s_client that makes it possible to select 
local IP from which connection must be made.

Request for such change was suggested by ticket #2578

Motivation for such functionality is that one may not find s_client useful if 
it tries to connect from host which has many network interfaces but only one 
can be used for SSL connection (and it's not default one). In such cases some 
tricks need to be done with tools like socat.

Please let me know if you find my patch useful or you would see it done 
different way.

Best regards
Krzysztof
