Title

Does not use bind to local address for outgoing connections

Description

I have several IPv4 / IPv6 addresses on a host and I wish to use a specific one. So I set up the bind so it would use that. It seems to be using that for the bind() in the listen socket but not for the outgoing connections. I've tried settings externalip. That only seems to change the "localaddresses" returned by getnetworkinfo. I'm guessing that's mostly useful for NAT.
