WCF Channel connection with dual NICs

[=?Utf-8?B?cHdt?=]

When we write a WCF client to run on a machine with a single network
interface card, we create a channel of type T with a statement something like
this:
T proxy = ChannelFactory< T>.CreateChanne l(new BasicHttpBindin g(), <some
endpoint>);
Now assume that the client machine has more than one network interface card.

How does one create the channel so that it will make its connection through
a specified NIC on the client machine?

Thanks,

How would you decide which NIC should be used? And how would you know this
better than the network stack does?

Just open the channel and let the network stack do its job, unless you've
got something very special going on.
