Hi again,

attached a new patch. After some discussions with Michael I
changed the default value of the new parameter 'TCP_bind' from
a blank value to 'all'. 
The old syntax with 'TCP_bind=' is still working.

Be aware that the usage of TCP_bind=<interface-name> needs root
privileges since SO_BINDTODEVICE is used.
