           Summary: Local-ip-address setting for telepathy-idle
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: low
         Component: telepathy-idle
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: inz at inz.fi


Many popular irc clients support selecting the IP onto which to bind outgoing
connectiongs. This is mostly popular on servers with multiple IP addresses, and
is not necessarily too useful for a desktop client. I'm, however, looking into
telepathy as a base of a multi-protocol-notifier/information bot, and choosing
the IP would be really beneficial.

This might serve also people who use VPN to a company internal network
(although in these cases it should work automatically, but just in case).

The point is to do a bind() for the socket (with 0 port) before connect()ing.
