    Selecting which IP address to use when connecting to a remote

    I have a machine with multiple IP addresses and I want to select the IP
    address used by my script when it connects to another location. Does
    any one know a way to select which IP address to use when creating a
    connection ?

      AFAIK, you need to configure your webserver so that it will receive
      requests from particular ports/domains and direct to the appropriate ip
      address. The outgoing responses would then be using that ip address.
      This is in the realm of virtual hosts.

      Maybe there's an apache module you can use via apache_note() or
      virtual() to set the outgoing ip address?

          Thanks for your reply. I am sorry I should have been more specific.
          This is a command line script and has nothing to do with apache.

              The second option to socket_bind() is the source IP address you'd like
              to use.
