["Andy LoPresto (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3541?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15890352#comment-15890352 ] 

Andy LoPresto commented on NIFI-3541:
-------------------------------------

It looks like this {{Socket}} constructor [1] will allow binding to a local {{InetAddress}} for the socket implementation [2], and Apache {{HttpClient}} allows a configuration value to be set [3] for the HTTP implementation [4][5].

> For systems with multiple nics to choose from we need a way to tell the operating system from our site to site client which local address (nic) we want to bind to.  The java socket class makes this possible but we do not make this available via site to site yet.
