Sure thing. Before I do, I will mention that this is a commonly available in many tools, ssh -b is one example. The situation I currently have is a machine with two different ethernet ports and two different IP addresses. Each of these IP addresses routes to the Internet through different gateways. I also have two services (call them A and B) on the Internet that I access from this machine. Due to factors beyond my control, service A is only authorized from IP address #1 and service B is only authorized from IP address #2. Binding to different local addresses lets me access both services from the same application. This is what I am doing now with the LispWorks api.
