Hi Peter,

I do an overload to the socket system call so that I can choose to which 
interface a given application should bind.
The problem I think is that linux is not expecting to have several 
interfaces connected to the same network so only  the first interface as 
a default gateway configured. So applications that I bind to interfaces 
other than the first have no network connectivity.
