    There are some reasons why you might like to use a specific address on a
    machine that is multi-homed, although normally the logic in the kernel works
    fine. I won't try to explain it in detail at this stage, but link-local is a
    personal favourite.

    Probably all you want is to use the SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
