[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12569555#comment-12569555 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1262:
--------------------------------

The 2 new properties are
- client_bind_port: the port on which the local client socket should listen (o = random)
- port_range: the number of ports to increment client_bind_port if no free port is found
- bind_addr is used to bind the client socket

> The client-side of the TCP connection FD_SOCK makes is not bound to a specific IP, so the OS just chooses one.
> This makes it difficult to set up strict firewall rules on a multi-homed server.
> Customer would like a way to bind the outgoing socket to a specific IP
> (either re-using bind_addr or adding an additional property would work).
