Bind to specific source address on Integrated Web Service Client calls

Add the ability to bind to a specific source IP address when making Integrated Web Service client calls.


Use Case:

Your IBM i could have several interfaces associated with it and you might not always want the Integrated Web Services Client to go out on the default interface. You might need to have a specific source for routing and/or NAT purposes on the way out of the network.

    IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be desirable and feasible. IBM intends to provide a solution. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
