I must admit, I don't understand the use-case well enough to really give
an appropriate amount of review as to whether this is the best solution
to the problem.
Michael, do you have any thoughts?

I'll clarify/elaborate a bit:
When using a multicast socket, the OS chooses a default physical
interface to send packets. The patch I've supplied allows the user to
select the interface.
Suppose you have a setup like so:
BoxA --- BoxB --- BoxC
You wish to run virtual machines on BoxB and BoxC

Thanks. Second question is how portable is SIOCGIFADDR? I suspect
that's very Linux-centric..
It ostensibly exists in FreeBSD, but I can't get master to compile under
7.3-RELEASE or 8.1-STABLE.
Given that it is
Add an option to specify the host interface to send multicast packets on
when using a multicast socket for networking. The option takes the name
of a host interface (e.g., eth0) and sets the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket
option, which causes the packets to use that interface as an egress.
This is useful
