Well, I am not much of a Cocoa hacker, but I have been hacking Unix, Linux, and
BSD professionally for about fifteen years, and (IIRC) you can't specify
directly in the socket setup what interface it uses. You should probably take a
look at route(4) (for non Unix geeks, that means, from the command line, do a
'man 4 route'). That should point you in the right direction. Hope that helps.
