Hi
In our environment we had the requirement to enforce that (on a multihomed server) the database driver uses a certain local ip to connect to the database server. In java this can easily be archived calling "bind" on the tcp socket before calling connect.
I patched the source of the jdbc driver to make this available through the connection properties "BIND_IP" and "BIND_PORT". Both are optional, we are using "BIND_IP" in production code.
I attached the patch for everyone to use in any way. (I am unsure about the contribution process and license requirements but you can use this code however you see fit).
I would be grateful, if this patch or another way to archive the same goal could be included in the next release...
