New property: bind_interface
----------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-579
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-579
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Bela Ban
         Assigned To: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.6


bind_addr tells JGroups which interface to bind to. However, if an IP address has more than 1 interface, e.g. in the case of IP Bonding, the JDK simply picks the first interface.
Similarly, if a given interface has more than 1 associated InetAddress, we simply pick the first.

Adding a property bind_interface (-Djgroups.bind_interface) allows us to exactly pick the correct network interface in both cases above.
