Another feature request ;-) Thanks for the GREAT work on mldonkey, it 
has banned the "official" linux client from my hdd by now.
Now to 
the Details of the request :
Is there any way to bind mldonkey to a 
specific interface/address ? I have a linux machine that has 4 
different IPs that get routed to different external interfaces; 
I'd like to run mldonkey on one of these interfaces, but not the 
"standard" one and neither on all ... Currently, mldonkey binds to 
0.0.0.0:port and its requests come from firstip:sourceports. 
What would be great would a way to have it bind to 192.168.1.2:port 
and its requests coming from 192.168.1.2:sourceports (when the 
primary interface is /not/ 192.168.1.2). This way it would be easy 
to direct the traffic to the best outbound connection for the job; it 
also would make it possible to restrict the incoming donkey-port to 
only one instead of 4 (3 of which are useless and could possibly be 
abused).

Thank you,
